If you're an experienced ATV rider and you are looking for a new place to challenge your well-honed maneuvering skills, take a trip out the High Rock Canyon. This ATV trail comes with an interesting history. Originally it was an Indian trail. The trail then became part of the passageway to get to Oregon. It was also a much-used pathway during the gold rush, as people headed to California seeking their fortunes. Today, this isn't an important traveling thoroughfare but it is one challenging and fun ATV ride.
ATV buffs will find diverse terrain from a beautiful dessert oasis to very rough and isolated gravel roads that take you far away from the crowds of ATVers you may be used to riding with. High Rock Canyon is only 16 miles long and even though it is not a long ATV trail, the sheer ruggedness of this trail will make it an all-day event.
It is important to note, that there are no facilities in or near the canyon, except for one camp. Bring everything you will need to ride. And bring along extra water to make sure you stay hydrated. High Rock Canyon is known as a beautiful but jagged place, which is one reason it has so much appeal for ATV riders.
Beginning ATV riders need to steer clear of this trail and even the most experienced ATVers need to take extra care with safety precautions on these trails, or they could easily wind up with flat tires slashed from sharp rocks.
This trail is for the knowledgeable ATVer who craves adventure and loves the excitement of truly challenging landscape, he or she should put High Rock Canyon on their must-ride list for ATVing destinations.
