If you're looking for your next ATVing challenge but you're not quite ready for the difficulty level of some of the ATV trails in this area. The Monte Cristo ATV Trail is a fantastic place to bring your ATV for a weekend of riding fun. The difficulty rating of these trails is moderate and the elevation begins at 8,400 feet and ends at 8,800 feet so be prepared for a slight climb on your ATV ride.
The entire length of this ATV trail is a 16-mile long loop and this is a multi-use trail so be on guard for other traffic including mountain bikes, other ATVs, hikers and motorcyclists. The riding season is from late spring to early fall and there can be snow in the early and late parts of the ATV riding season so be aware if you haven't driven your ATV over slick conditions before.
There are a series of ridge roads near the mountain crest join to offer an excellent loop trail for ATVers of moderate abilities. The 16-mile loop offers views of the Wasatch, Uintah and Wellsville mountains, as well as a chance to see hawks, deer and other wildlife, especially if you are riding your ATV in the early morning or early evening hours. Matter of fact, pull over your ATV and take a few photos, this is certainly a photo-worthy venue.
Most of the ATV trail is open during the riding season, although a few areas will be closed during bad weather conditions, call ahead to verify if the trails are open for ATV riding before you haul your machine out to this trail system.
