This 38-mile long loop offers ATV riders a wide variety of terrain and difficulty that ranges from smooth and hardpacked gravel and dirt roads that wind through rolling hills and grassy meadows to chunky and steep mountain climbs. The trail winds through a scenic mixed pine and aspen forest with panoramic mountain views.

There are several designated trailheads and campgrounds that offer direct trail access. Most of the campgrounds are free except for East Park but note there is no running water at any of the sites so come prepared.
