When heading to the Horseshoe Trail, keep in mind how much fun it is going to be when you get to ride one of the best ATV trails around.
To get there take county road 62 to Forest Service road 14 and turn onto FSR 13. Follow this road for about 12 miles till you get to the trailhead.
The length of this ATV trail is about 6 miles with an elevation of 7800 ft. at it's highest, and 5000 ft. at it's lowest. This trail for ATVing can be quite rough so it has been listed as most difficult, so keep this in mind. It opens in June and closes in November for all activity.
This ATV trail not only gives you challenging turns and steep climbs, it also offers some breathtaking views. Get off the ATV and check it all out before you head on, you will not be disappointed. You will come across old brush that had been burned badly back in 1990. Water is the problem because it is not accessible in the trail area, so it must be brought in.
As a seasoned ATVer, safety is a top priority while participating in the sport of ATVing. Check your vehicle to make sure it is in top running order. The brakes, oil, any leaks, and don't forget the tires.
Wearing the proper gear is important as well. A helmet to protect your head, as well as gloves, goggles, and a good pair of boots. One of those good looking ATV suits or even a long sleeve shirt and pants will do to.
Make sure you let someone know where you are going and when you will be back. Taking a cell phone with you will ensure a way of contacting help if an emergency arises.
So be careful, have fun, and always pay attention and all will be well in ATV land.
