Thorhult Road NW

Trail Overview

This trail is a well-maintained gravel road that runs dead straight and is two vehicles wide for its length. Drivers should be cautious of slippery sections and keep an eye out for local traffic, which may appear without much warning. The route passes through areas of forest and farmland, including sections alongside a wildlife management area and a honey farm, adding some variety to the scenery. It leads directly to Highway 89, where it crosses over before continuing for another half mile. At that point, the trail transitions into a designated snowmobile route, which remains a pleasant and scenic stretch. A communications tower marks the end of the route. There are no dispersed or formal campsites along this trail, and it does not provide amenities such as trash disposal or a water supply.
