Last Known Status Open
Trail PhotoThis area offers some huge hill climbs and about 19 miles of single track through deep volcanic craters and ponderosa pines.  The cinders from ancient volcanoes feel like loose sand, but these tiny lava pebbles tend to tear up padde tires quickly.  Bonita campground is close by, with picnic tables, fire rings, water faucets and vault toilets. Dispersed camping is also allowed, but the main staging area has no facilities.  Tourist attractions include Hundred-Dollar Hill (a nasty hill-climb of almost 900 feet!) and Sunset crater, a 500ft deep volcanic crater used by the Apollo astronauts for practice on operating the Lunar Rover (off-limits to OHV).
