Full Day Side by Side Directions Alpine

Welcome to your Full Day Side by Side Adventure out of our Alpine Location. Our full day time runs from 9am-5pm and will explore down the beautiful Greys River Road towards your choice of  the McCain Cabin, Murphy Lake, Dead Mans Mine, and McDougal Gap destinations. This adventure is designed as a scenic access into our local backcountry. This is not a skill rated trail system; it includes federal speed limits and is accessed via open access forest service roads (think bumpy country dirt roads). You must stay on the forest service access roads at all times. Please do not venture off trail as this is a highly regulated, federally patrolled area and they can ticket you! Think of this adventure as a leisurely way to access areas of Alpine that are rarely seen. All of our Side by Sides are street legal and leave directly from our parking lot. They leave full of 91 octane and will need to be returned full of 91 octane. You can fuel the side by side when returning to the town of Alpine.

Please be advised that there is vehicle traffic, horse traffic, wildlife, and side by side traffic on all trail systems.

Start by heading 300 yards towards Short Street where you will make a right hand turn. Proceed straight past Alpine drive on your left 300ft until you reach the Trail Drive stop sign. Here you will make a left onto Trail Drive and proceed .4 miles until you reach a stop sign for the Greys River Road (FR 10138). Turn right onto the Greys River Road.

In 2.2 miles you will pass by the Squaw Creek trailhead (FR 10001) on your right. (This system is too narrow for side by sides, continue straight).
