This 4-wheeler trail is difficult for beginning riders, but for more experienced 4-wheeler riders, this is the most fun you can have within such a short 3-mile trail. The Rio Grande National Forest Service manages this trail and it is open June through October and take care during the early and late seasons of the 4-wheeler riding season, as there is potential to encounter slick ice and snow in various places on the 4-wheeler trail. These are multi-use trails with use by other 4-wheeler riders, hikers, horseback riders, and motorcycle riders.
This 4-wheeler trail connects two major trails, Bennett Trail (Forest Trail 872) and West Frisco Trail (Forest Road 850). This 4-wheeler trail has steep sections and is difficult for beginners. Make sure you ride with a buddy with a winch kit installed on their 4-wheeler, just in case you get caught in one of the steep gullies.
If you are a newer 4-wheeler rider or you do not have much experience climbing steep grades, out on the trail isn't the place to learn. Even experienced riders will approach steep and rocky terrain with respect and caution. If you're an experienced 4-wheeler rider, you will love the challenges this trail will present on your ride.
As with all Forest Service managed lands, please follow the Treadlightly standards when using these 4-wheeler trails and make sure to have your riding permit in a plainly visible place on your vehicle.
