This ATV trail takes you through 2.8 miles and climbs from an elevation of 8,120 feet at the trailhead to an elevation of 8,450 at the trail end. This trail end is also the highest point on the ATV trail. The ATV trail is a steady climb upwards.
This ATV trail system is managed by the Pike and Isabel National Forest Areas and is under their jurisdiction. Be sure to get your riding permit before you ride on his trail system. The Forest Rangers will do an inspection of your ATV prior to your ride to insure your ATV has a working mechanical system (brakes, lights and such) and they will check to make sure you have a noise muffler and spark arrestor installed.
Get a map of the Overlook Motorized Trail and map out your ride, there are a number of other trail systems that connect with this one and you could change your ride to an easier or more challenging ride as you see fit. Some of the trails in this trail system are marked very well and others are not marked at all make sure you know exactly where you're going as if you are trailblazing either intentionally or unintentionally, could result in a fine.
