Valley and Cows

Valley and Cows is an 11.2-mile scenic route through a dense Ohio valley, ideal for stock high-clearance 4WD vehicles and adventure riders. The route traverses winding, unpaved gravel roads with elevation shifting between 872 and 1,171 feet, accumulating roughly 1,075 feet of elevation gain. With a technical rating of 3, the trail is generally straightforward but features steep, stepping climbs and descents on side loops that require careful throttle control when wet or icy. Running the route in reverse is recommended during winter to ease the sharp western hill climbs. The trail concludes with a highly scenic section alongside an active cow farm.
