Half Day Trail Suggestions from the Greys River Trailhead
For our four hour half day rides we suggest checking out the McCain Cabin area down the Little Greys trail system. Start by cruising down the Greys River Road (A) trail. You will pass over the Greys River bridge in 1.5 miles from the trailhead. 2.2 miles past the bridge you will come to trail intersection (C) coming in from your right hand side with a small bridge crossing. (The (C) trail is designed for full day rental experienced backcountry riders only on performance and high-performance machines only- no trail or crossover sleds please). Continue straight down the (A) trail for another 3.5 miles until you reach the (D) intersection. The Forks Campground will be covered in snow on your right hand side just before the intersection. At the (A/D) trail intersection take the (D) trail to your left hand side (Black Arrows on our map). The (D) trail is also referred to as the Little Greys (FN-10124) due to following the little greys river system, a feeder to the greys river. This trail slowly climbs in elevation for 14 miles until you reach the McCain Cabin Guard station. This is a great area to enjoy a picnic lunch or snack. There are beginner friendly meadows for off trail riding as well. You will pass by Bull Hollow (6.7 miles in) on your left hand side. (Bull Hollow is designed as a short cut to the McCain cabin but should only be used by experienced riders on performance and high performance machines) If you are on a trail sled or crossover continue straight down the (D) trail. 5.2 miles later you will come to a split in the trail system. Continue on the (D) trail to your left. (FN10047 goes right to a dead end). Continue 2 miles until you reach a split in the trail system. At the split stay left and the guard station will be down 1700feet. The guard station is locked to the public. There is an open restroom at the cabin open to the public. To exit back to the (A) trail simply backtrack on the same (D) trail back to the greys river intersection (14 miles). Here you will make a right onto the (A) trail and be back to the town of Alpine in 8.1 miles.

You will pass by the Lynx Creek campground on your right and the Murphy Creek Campground on your right. 7 miles later you will pass the Moose Flat Campground on your right. 3.8 Miles past Moose Flats will be the (A/E) intersection for Blind Bull.
