Gramp's is a friendly sounding name for a short 2 mile ATV trail that gets only moderate use and the difficulty level is only intermediate. This is a great trail for ATV riders of all skill levels.
This ATV trail is managed by the Pike National Forest Service and is open for a very short ATV riding season from Winter through Spring. This is a multi-use trail with other ATV riders, hikers, motorcyclists, mountain bikers and snowmobile enthusiasts.
Gramp's has some steep grades but mostly it's a lush winding trail full of turns and narrow areas. Be aware of that the ATV trails can get quite cold, so dress appropriately. Even when it's warmer down at the trailhead, it can become colder at your ride your ATV along the trails. Also, the Forest Service advices that besides doing a pre-ride inspection of your ATV, you should also take some basic car repair tools with you. A shovel can be used to dig your ATV out of a lot of backcountry problems. Another great tip from the Forest Service that should be followed is to be sure you bring along extra safety items such as water, flashlights, maps, and a cell phone when you ride your ATV.
Gramps is a great ATV trail for beginning ATV riders to learn to navigate narrow trails and how to maneuver around some of the moderately steep grades.
When riding this trail, please follow the Treadlightly standards of conduct and help preserve Gramp's Motorized Trail for future generations of ATV riders!
