TRAIL LAYOUT
The trail's easy sections have gentle grades, sweeping turns, and a fairly smooth surface with few obstacles. ?The most difficult part has steeper grades, tight and steep turns, sections of rough terrain, and some rock and log obstacles.

TREAD LIGHTLY
ORV's are a real challenge! But wait! Before you strike out, think about another challenge, your responsibility to tread lightly and protect the environment you and other forest visitors enjoy. It's tough to move over the land without damaging it, even for a hiker. You have the added disadvantage of a few hundred to several thousand pounds ?of machinery. If you can move your vehicle over miles of primitive travel ways without leaving a vehicle imprint, ?you are an expert! Here are the challenges that will truly test your skill.

I PLEDGE TO TREAD LIGHTLY BY:

TRAVELING only where motorized vehicles are permitted.
RESPECTING the rights of hikers, campers, hunters, and others to enjoy their activities undisturbed.
EDUCATING myself by obtaining travel maps and regulations from public agencies, complying with signs and barriers and asking landowners' permission to ride across private property.
AVOIDING streams, lakeshores, meadows, muddy roads and trails, steep hillsides, wildlife openings, and animals of the forest.
DRIVING responsibly to protect the environment and preserve opportunities to enjoy my vehicle on national forests.
