If you're looking for a 4-wheeler ride that is just about as hard as a trail can get, check out the Index Wall Overlook Trail and you will experience a 4-wheeler ride that is about as technically challenging as it gets. Measuring in at only 3.2 miles, it isn't a very big trail, but it has more obstacles to overcome on your 4-wheeler than you will encounter on much longer 4-wheeler trails. Make sure you have your 4-wheeler riding permit in a clearly visible place and as with all Oregon trails, make sure to follow the rule of thumb, "If you bring it in, take it out with you and leave nothing behind but tire tracks."

There are several water traps along this 4-wheeler trail that can lead to frustration if you don't do a little advance planning. If you plan this out and know what you're facing on this 4-wheeler trail, you're in for a truly challenging and skill testing experience.
