Elk Heights is a separated section of the LT Murray network of Green Dot roads surrounded on all sides by private property. It is very important that we stay on the legal marked Green Dot roads, not only to keep the government from closing them, but also to avoid issues with the local landowners. These…
The Liberty area hosts a series of 4×4 trails in steep mountain terrain. When it is dry, the dirt can be loose and slippery in places. When wet, the mud will make it treacherous in most areas. There are lots of off-camber situations and steep hill climbs, often combined for extra fun. Seasonal closure in…
I would be more inclined to call this area “Juniper Sand Trails” than Dunes. The majority of the area is covered in scrub brush. Pick a direction you want to go, and there are sand trails through the brush headed that direction. There are a few open dune areas. Taller dunes can be found further…
The Cat Creek area of Gifford Pinchot National Forest is currently the only area where roads are open to all vehicles. Even with your “street legal kit” and green restricted plate with ON-ROAD tabs, you are still not legal anywhere other than the roads marked for All Vehicles on the MVUM at this time. Those…
Fortune Creek is home to a series of 4×4 trails, consisting of 4W301-304, and a separate trail, 4W305. 4W301-304 make their way up the mountain, passing Gallagher Head Lake before terminating with some excellent scenic view points. This area makes a great destination for a day trip. The entire system of trails is about 28…
Evans Creek ORV Park is one of the most challenging ORV areas in the state. There are easy sections, but if you limit yourself to those, you won’t do much riding here. It is primarily a 4×4 trail system, popular with jeeps and pickups. Expect deep ruts and exposed boulders and tree roots, off-camber trails,…
Elbe Hills ORV Area is well known to be very muddy, with deep ruts created by the heavy jeeps and trucks that frequent the area. This can be very challenging for UTVs and ATVs, but it is still passable. Most of the trails are not far off of the main service roads through the area,…
22,000 acres of dry sage steppes, cut by a lush riparian oasis along Douglas Creek. Songbirds and raptors abound in the cottonwoods and cliffs of this protected canyon, while beaver and trout thrive in the pools and cascades of the stream. 4 miles of access roads & trails open to OHVs. Hunting, dispersed camping, hiking,…
This entire region is covered with old mining and logging roads that can be enjoyed on your off-road vehicle. The terrain ranges from wide open well-maintained service roads to old, forgotten roads that now look more like trails, way up in the mountains. None of it is particularly difficult, but all of it is beautiful…
This area provides a mixture of lush evergreen forest and harsh desert landscape. The contrast is as beautiful as it is extreme. You can ride all day here in a large loop with a little bit of backtracking and see canyons, rock formations, rolling hills, dense forests, and get your feet wet in the river….
