Trail Overview

Trail 4 is a wide OHV route open to vehicles 65 inches or less, accommodating two-way travel with plenty of space. The trail features a mix of smooth surfaces, loose rock, and root sections, along with cinderblock reinforcement in spots. Waterbars are present throughout for drainage. Several notable bedrock outcroppings create moderate obstacles. One in the center of the trail rises about a foot, but is ramped and easily navigable with some articulation. Other rock features are more technical, offering split lines with varying difficulty and optional bypasses. For example, there is a 4-foot-tall sloped boulder that you can either go around or over. This trail delivers a fun mix of terrain for intermediate drivers, with opportunities for both challenge and flow.
