Because Peekaboo Gulch ATV trail is so rough, ATV riders need to keep safety protocol in mind. In the first place, every ATV rider should know that safety gear should be worn at all times when you're riding ATV trails. This includes your ATV helmet, gloves and googles, as well as your chest plate. Since this ATV trail is so bumpy, riders should slow down and take it easy. Never ride all out when there are obstacles in your path. Nobody wants to be involved in the aftermath of an ATV injury/accident.
ATV riding isn't especially difficult under most circumstances, but ATV riders need to use common sense. Know your abilities as an ATV rider and be honest with yourself. If you come to an especially difficult portion of trail and you're not sure if you'll be able to handle your ATV, then the best option is to turn back.
First and foremost, do not ride terrain beyond your ability. If you come upon a trail riding area or situation where you are unsure of how to handle the ATV or what you would do in a worst-case scenario, don't do it!
A little care can help make your ATVing experience great.
