Trail Overview
Trail 19 - Wolf Ridge is a moderately challenging, 1.5-mile route in Windrock Park, ideal for offroaders looking to transition from easy gravel roads to more technical dirt and rock terrain. Climbing through the Wolf Ridge area with an elevation gain of approximately 433 feet, this trail reaches a maximum elevation of 2,818 feet. It offers a step up in difficulty with a technical rating of 3, characterized by bumpy rock faces, medium-depth mud holes, and small washouts. A stock four-wheel-drive vehicle can successfully navigate the trail by choosing the correct lines, making it a great option for high-clearance SUVs, trucks, and SxSs seeking a taste of Windrock's signature terrain.
The trail begins at G37, near Flat Gap, and winds its way up to end at G20, offering scenic wooded surroundings throughout the drive. The primary obstacles consist of uneven rocky sections, including one specific area with jetted rocks that present a high-centering hazard for vehicles with lower clearance. Drivers should carefully pick their lines around these protrusions to prevent undercarriage damage. This blue-rated trail provides a fun, slightly technical alternative to the main access roads and is best enjoyed during the dryer seasons, though mud holes can persist year-round.
Difficulty
One section of the trail features jetted rocks that you can get high centered on, but if the right line is taken, you can work your way around or off it.
