Guided Trail Rides

Trail Ride Schedule for the weekend of Trailfest 2015

Routes to be determined inside of the Adventure Off Road Parks trail system. To include a variety of terrain manageable by vehicles from stock to wild. Discretion is always advised when choosing a trail. Consider your vehicle and it's ability as well as your experience as a driver. Each guided trail ride and excursion will have at least 2 experienced Guides to accompany you on your route and assist with things like spotting and choosing the right line. We welcome you all to come and join us. Come early to Trailfest to ensure your spot and after you check in go to the Trail Signup Tent inside of AOP to choose your schedule. Once signed up you will receive a color coded sticker which matches designated flags around the park. The coordinating SFWDA Trail Ride Flag will determine your location to meet at the appropriate time. We ask that all riders show up at least 15 minuted prior to departure. It is also advised to arrive prepared and ready to hit the trail (tires aired down, and engine fueled up) for a brief drivers meeting and a prompt departure. CB radios will be used on the rides so bring it if you have one but they're not mandatory. AOP Trail Maps will also be provided inside your registration packets and around the park during the event.
