Interesting name for a great place to go ATVing, the Starvation Trail. Maybe the name has something to do with the fact that this is a challenging and difficult trail to ride on your ATV.
To get there, take County road 62 and head south past Prairie City then turn east at the sign for the Starvation Trail trailhead.
The length of this particular ATV trail is 2.1 miles with the highest elevation of 7700 ft. and the lowest being 6300 ft. The use of this trail is light but you still want to stay alert while out riding. The opening of the ATV trail is in June and it closes in November.
This ATV trail is well taken care of with plenty of meadow areas available if you ever decide to camp out. The trail takes you through lots of wooded areas and ties you to the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness and the Glacier Mountain Roadless Management Area.
Because of the fact that cattle graze in this area where the ATV trail goes, it would be advisable to take drinking water with you. Even though there is water available, it could be contaminated from the cattle.
Safety is the time priority to all in the sport of ATVing. The first thing is to make sure your vehicle is running smoothly with everything being checked before hand. The brakes, oil, and the tires, are all a part of the process.
Wear the right gear whenever heading out on the ATV trails. This is so important to the protection to your body. A helmet, gloves, goggles, and a good pair of boots will be good. An ATV suit is also available.
So when heading out to the ATV trails remember, be safe, drive safe, and play safe.
