Trail Overview

This ATV trail starts from the Seep Springs staging area, and starts curving through the pinyon trees with lots of very curvy turns tightly through the trees. There are a few sections with either loose rocks or bigger embedded rocks, but mostly it's a pretty smooth trail. It crosses a wash with a few more embedded rocks. After about a mile and a half, it starts to climb up to the top of the mesa with more tight turns and hairpins. It's a pretty gradual climb since you do so many hairpin turns. Near the north end, it comes around a corner to overlook the whole valley, then narrows up into a shelfy trail that traverses the side of the mesa. This section will be a bit more difficult for ATVs as it is much narrower. The final switchbacks before the north end of the trail are steeper as well, adding some difficulty.

Difficulty

The entire trail is sharp twisting turns through a high desert terrain. The turns come up fast and sudden. There are ledges up to 6" tall from embedded layers of rock, and one taller ledge (1 ft) that is ramped and easy.

Access Description

The Seep Springs trail system has about 10 different ATV trails that range from easy to hard, but are all rocky high desert terrain. There is a dirt staging area about 6.3 miles north of Highway 50, on County Road 69. There are a couple dispersed campsites south of the staging area on BLM land. All of the trails are well marked and easy to follow, with pinch points at the entrance to prevent vehicles wider than 50".
