Trail Overview

3 - Major Tom is an excellent trail on the more casual side that can be underestimated. At the same time, Major Tom is a more accessible trail that can sometimes lead to complacency for a starter vehicle or one with less ground clearance. You may, for example, find yourself hung up on your differential on a trail that seems like a walk in the park. Trail 3 is a firm dirt trail with more minor obstacles scattered amongst the trail. From a flat shelf rock to mud holes, this will be a great starter trail to introduce the new riders, let the kids get behind the wheel to get some hands-on experience in a controlled situation, or take a break from the roaring motors on the buggy trails.

Difficulty

Trail 3 is mostly hard packed dirt, and does not hold mud very long, as the water runs off the mountain quickly. There is scattered tree debris, and one rock shelf that could catch you off guard. Otherwise, this trail is an excellent easy cruiser!

History

Trail 3 features Tom's Rock. Tom was AOP's original owner when the park opened. It started as a great hang out spot and ended as a icon for the trail itself.
