6025 ATV

Trail Overview

6025 is one of the harder ATV trails in the Texas Creek Recreation Area. It departs off of the Lonestar Loop near the main staging area, and heads east from the parking lot. It gets a bit rocky right away, with small loose rocks, shallow ruts, embedded slab rock and loose rocks. It goes into a ravine that is off-camber, narrow, and full of small boulders that make it a bit tricky for ATVs to pick a good line. There's a sign in the ravine saying that this trail is a dead end, so it looks like a lot of people turn around early at this sign. If you keep going for the rest of the trail, however, it gets even more challenging and rewards you with a really nice view. It starts steeply climbing up, and sections of the climb are just covered in loose shale-like pieces of rock that make it really hard to maintain momentum and get good traction. There's a small pinyon tree down part way up the climb that will need to be cut for ATVs, but dirt bikes can get around it. It keeps climbing up, gaining 850 feet elevation over 1.4 miles. Near the end it gets shelfy and narrow, with chunky uneven layers of rock embedded in the trail as well, and still constantly full of the loose rock. The embedded slab creates small ledges about a foot tall. It ends at a pretty nice view overlooking the mountains at a turnaround spot. This one is challenging, but is probably the most rewarding in the whole trail system.
