Trail Overview
This wide, maintained gravel road is the main access to the free-to-use Cinder Hills OHV Area and a wonderland for off-road play. You'll find ample camping for rigs of any size along this road. The lighter-colored dots along the side of this road on the satellite map are firm gravel pads with easy pull-offs from the main road designed for use by toy haulers and motorized campers. The entire road is two lanes wide and easily traveled by any street-legal vehicle. You'll see huge diesel pushers hauling toy trailers scattered along this road along with car campers and SUVs with 4-wheelers on trailers. As you continue to the north end of 776, the road flattens out as it follows along the northern border of the OHV area along the base of Sunset Volcano. You'll have cell service along most of this road. You'll discover outstanding views, huge old ponderosa pines, tenacious wildflowers, birds, and maybe an elusive elk. This is a well-used, well-cared-for OHV area with quiet, star-filled nights and fun-filled days testing your mettle in this open riding area.
