| Alt Names |
White Mountains National Recreation Area, Tolovana River Bridge, Elliott Highway, Duncan Creek Drainage, Big Bend Trail, Beaver Creek |
| DESCRIPTION |
This trail is more commonly used in the winter by snowmobiles and sleds, but is open in the summer to all motorized vehicles under 1,500 lbs. The trail heads east along the the Duncan Creek drainage toward the White Mountains National Recreation Area, climbing gently for the first ten miles, then more steeply for the next three. The BLM does not recommend the trail for OHVs in the summer due to "wet boggy" conditions, and they rate the trail as moderate difficulty. The trail leads to Wolf Run Cabin, which was burned in a fire in 2005, but the BLM plans to rebuild it soon.
