Important Tips & Information

• Be sure to download trail maps! Cellular reception is spotty at best in most of these destinations. Having an area map downloaded with your GPS coordinates plugged in can save you from getting lost or on the wrong trail when you are in the backcountry.
• Pack water and snacks. There won't be any services or convenience stores in most of these areas. Having ample water and snacks on hand is highly recommended.
• Take sunblock and bug spray. Be sure to take these with you and apply often. These higher elevations means you can burn faster. And mosquitoes thrive in many of these locations, particularly near water sources.
• Fuel up. Be sure to have a full tank before you head out. And if you can, pack extra fuel for your OHV. With hundreds of miles of connected trails and no cell service, you want to play all day and not get stranded in the remote wilderness areas.
• Tell a friend. As a good practice, share your approximate destination with a friend or family member not traveling with you. Let them know when you head out and be sure to let them know when you return. It's a good idea in case something happens and you need help - someone will know your rough whereabouts.
