Peach Valley OHV Area
Wednesday, December 11, 2024
| Other Names | Peach Valley OHV, Falcon Rd, Selig Canal, Peach Valley Rd, Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This is a popular off-road area that offers over 15 square miles of desert terrain that consists of hardpacked and crusty ATV trails to narrow single track and rugged hill climbs.
The main staging area offers plenty of room for parking and amenities include loading ramps, some shade gazebos, vault toilets, picnic tables and informational kiosks. The BLM recently installed a training course with three loops (beginner, intermediate and advanced). Obstacles range from light gravel sections to rock gardens and strategically placed logs to navigate through.
There are no fees but machines must display a current Colorado OHV Sticker. There is no water so bring your own.
