Trail Overview

ATV Trail #970 is a short spur off of Trail #968. It is 0.8 miles long, and the route is mostly gradual and on smooth dirt, curving between juniper trees on a flat hilltop through grassy fields. The trail is unmarked where it starts on #968, but follows a fence line, and is well-tracked, so it will be easy to follow. There is very minimal rock in the beginning, but it gets a bit rockier as you go west. Expect a couple of tighter turns as well. Overall, it's just a fun extra spur to explore off of the longer ATV Trail #968.
