DESCRIPTION
Why not be one of the first visitors to this brand new OHV area? This area offers a large staging area, clean restrooms, picnic tables, fire rings, and an informative trailhead kiosk, and two main trail loops. Loop R (left), is better for novices, and is wide and scenic, with a few deep sand washes, and rock formations. Loop G (right) is a very fun and challenging loop that starts out rocky, with a few sand washes, and eventually breaks into some great single-track. Be sure to thank the Dunes And Trails ATV Club for these awesome new trails.

Comment
G-loop is the best - starts off rocky, but gets better
