D5

D5 starts off pretty soft and sandy as it heads up the hill. There are a few different routes for D5, and they all have signs telling you that you are on the trail. The trail is confusing to navigate, but the trail itself is fairly easy with not much more than sand and bumps to negotiate. There are a few sidehill sections that can feel a bit tippy as you navigate across the hill, but nothing too extreme. D5 is an easy way to get up and see Toad Rock without having to do the entire Toad Rock Trail. Also in the area, there are a few Open riding areas where you can leave the trail and work on your skills. These areas are well marked, and so are the boundaries. Off The Trailer, Ghosts, and Headlight mark the boundary of open riding areas. Cell Service: Coverage is reliable in this area, ensuring you can navigate, communicate, or share your epic photos with ease. Hours and Access: The Prison Hill OHV Area is open daily from dawn to dusk, year-round, and is free to the public.

Restrictions: Camping and fires are prohibited within the recreation boundaries. During the summer months, the area may close during Red Flag Warnings issued by the National Weather Service due to extreme fire danger.
