There is a very easy to ride and popular 32-mile trail in the White River National Forest that gets a heavy amount of use from 4-wheeler riders. There are a lot of activities going on around and on the 4-wheeler trail itself such as : camping, cross-country skiing during the winter months and early spring, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, motorcycle riding, and snowmobiling.
Normally, this is a beautiful drive through aspen forests and some meadows with wild flowers with your 4-wheeler. Some people use this road to get between Eagle and the Reudi area, and also to access hiking trails and stream fishing. If you brought your fishing gear on your 4-wheeler and your fishing license is handy, park your 4-wheeler and indulge yourself in a little fishing at Crooked Creek Reservoir. These 32 miles of 4-wheeler trails are great for newer 4-wheeler riders to learn how to truly maneuver their 4-wheelers and pick up additional knowledge, skills, and build their confidence for taking on more aggressive 4-wheeler trails in the future. The only word of caution for all 4-wheeler riders on this stretch of road is that it is very dangerous and slippery when wet. Do not drive on it if it looks like it might rain or has recently rained.
This is a beautiful and easy drive when conditions are dry. From Crooked Creek Pass you can continue on to Sylvan Lake State Recreation Area and the town of Eagle. You can also access the Eagle Lake trail, Burnt Mountain Road and Lime Park. From Burnt Mountain road you can access Tellurium Lake and Last Chance Gulch trails all from this area. Burnt Mountain Road and Lime Park both have relatively easy 4-wheeler trails leading to them, the Last Chance Gulch trails are aptly named as they have a high degree of difficulty in some places and should not be attempted by inexperienced 4-wheeler riders. Fortunately, there are other easy trails within this area that will let the newer riders practice their skills while the more experienced 4-wheeler riders take on the harder trails!
