    I am new to the 4 x 4 world this year, so far I have been out on 5 trails. Out of all of them, this particular trail has...

    First half is easy, accessible by almost any vehicle. Second half is tree line with steep inclines, large ruts, and lots of mud. Fun just after a big rain.

    This is a relatively easy trail IF you have some type of a lift. I talked to a guy who said he did it in a stock truck, but the whole trail is filled with tons of incredibly deep ruts. The guy said that when it rains, it...

    First part is better with less people but some big dips to get through but the lake is beautiful and you can camp by it if your tenting. Lots of good camping in the long part of the way back

    I would call this easy to moderate, the route along the creek has some spectacular views as is the view of the mountains...

    Basically you are driving up a large washout. There are a few times you will need to cross through the river. Basically go until you are bored and turn around. It is more of a sight-seeing trip than and offroading trip. ...

    Had a blast here!

    Starts with a easy gravel road drive. The road can get pretty bumpy, and there’s a few steep hills. Once you get down into The Valley it’s free range where you want to go. Definitely worth it

    Steep rocky center with some fantastic views sandwiched between some lazy quad trail and flowy woodsy single track.

    Maybe the First 230 up and over??

    With a foot of fresh snow earlier in the week, mixed with warm weather we were unable to climb a couple hills to make it to the lake. We tried both ways. There was thick ice on most hills beneath the snow.

    Steep inclines and declines, hairpin turns and loose rock. The first part was easy, but after that between moderate and difficult at some of the switchbacks.

    First trail of the day! Nice trail through the trees built for ATV with wider pathways. Little rocky in some spots for my liking but I would definitely do it again!

    Gnarly first bit after the single track. Bike kept bogging during a hill climb so I did some biking and got back... adjusted the air screw and up and over. The rest of it was a blast. Mostly quad and truck paths.
