Other Names

Thunder Basin National Grassland, Medicine Bow - Thunder Basin National Grassland, Buffalo Field Office, Big Horn Mountains, Devil's Tower

Last Known StatusOpen

This popular area offers around 15 miles of ATV trails that mainly consists of hard packed and gravel roads, making this a good choice to bring the beginner rider or family. The trails form nice long loops and are marked by white arrows and boasts scenic views of the nearby Big Horn Mountains and Devils Tower.

There are three staging areas and future plans include adding bridges, a kids play area and more signage. Camping is permitted but is primitive so come prepared. All OHVs must display a Wyoming ORV Sticker. The trails are open most of the year but closes to motorized use around mid September through late October for hunting season.
