Chief Mountain OHV Area

Wednesday, May 15, 2013
Alt Names White Pine County, Red Rhyolite Trail, Grey Dome Trail, Caliente, Silver State Ohv Trail, Newman Canyon, Nelson Spring
Last Known Status Open
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.
