Pool Table Road ATV Trail is a great place for ATV riders to become one with the great outdoors. Truly what could be better than ATVing along 7.3 miles of the beautiful Rio Grande River Valley?
This ATV trail leads you through some absolutely lovely sub-alpine parks. Have you ever heard of Bristlecone Pine trees? They are regarded to be the oldest living things on the planet, and you get the chance to see them up close along the side of the ATV trail.
Further along the trail, ATVers will come to the site of the old Hansen's Mill. Unfortunately, the mill is long since gone and there is only a pile of sawdust left to mark where it once stood.
There are some flat lands close by that make a good place for ATV enthusiasts to get in a little primitive camping. Remember that what you do can leave an environmental impact on the land. ATVers should be sure to keep campfires at a minimum and have a good supply of water at hand to properly extinguish the fire pit. Always bury your waste a minimum of 200 feet away from water sources and trails.
There is a portion of Pool Table Road that is mostly loose gravel and can kick up quite a dust cloud, so have a little care when ATVing through this area. Some courtesy for the ATV riders sharing the road with you will make for a nicer day.
Any ATV rider should make it their business to know their limits. Watch your time, it's easy to loose track when you are having a great ride on your ATV. ATVers shouldn't keep pushing themselves when they are tired. Be willing to stop and rest.
ATVing is such a wonderful sport. Be smart and you'll be safe.
