Blast Off - Trail 411

Trail Overview

Blast Off is a fun SxS trail for vehicles 65 inches or less in the Mount Emily Recreation Area. It starts directly from the staging area and winds north into the hills for about 1.6 miles. The trail is primitive and overgrown in the beginning, with tall grass growing in the trail, which can obscure some of the rocks. It is gradual, just climbing up a hillside with wide open views of the rural valley below, grassy meadows, and sparse ponderosa pine trees. There's a little bit of loose rock and embedded rock and shallow ruts, but it is overall very easy for all ride types. It crosses a forest road a couple of times, and is more beat in and less overgrown the farther north you go. You have to turn left on Juniors Line 211 and connect to another piece of Blast Off across the road for the last half mile, before it ends on another forest road.
