If riding your ATV through dense conifer forests and high alpine meadows sounds like heaven to you, then you need to take your ATV to Red Tables Road #514.
This 17 mile ATV trail is fairly easy, perfectly suitable for when you just feel like riding your ATV, not working it. Once you get to the top of the trail's ridge line, you'll have a 360 degree view of God's country from an elevation of 3,410 feet. Nothing else like it! And following Red Table trail to the end will bring you to the trail head of Mt. Thomas.
Red Tables ATV trail offers more than just a place to ride your ATV. Four wheeling and motorcycling are also favorite pastimes shared by trail enthusiasts. And if your ATV is ready for a little down time, there are trails for horseback riding and mountain biking. Weather permitting, you can even get in a little cross country skiing.
This moderately used trail is managed by the White River National Forest department. Be sure to have your ATV permit clearly and prominently displayed, and you must have your muffler and spark arrestor in place before you begin your ATV ride.
As always, practice good ATV safety. Wear your helmet, gloves and goggles. Never ride the ATV trails alone, bring a buddy. And be sure to bring a cell phone or walkie talkie in case of an emergency. It's also a good idea to carry a small first aid kit. You'll definitely need to be prepared in case you encounter mechanical problems like getting a flat tire on your ATV.
Taking your ATV to Red Tables Road trail will be a trip you'll want to remember the rest of your life. Bring a camera to preserve your ATVing memories.
