1 Dec 07: 12mile summit trail

#1 Post by buschn »

I don't know the rules in the area for riding other than what we heard from BLM about the caribou hunt but here's a picture of the snow on the hilltops at twelve mile summit trail. I know you can't ride on the left(north) side of the road and the actual trail got pretty torn up by fourwheelers but the hilltops were great fun. I just tagged along on the hunt to ride snowmobiles so I dont know much about the location of the forty mile herd.[img]

Combat hunting. We were there too and it was a crazy.

Did you see any bou at 12 mile ? We drove farther on to Miller House site and went up from there, but the trail was also torn up by the 4 wheelers. I almost took my 6 wheeler up instead but was glad I didn't. The 4 wheelers could make it, if they stayed on the road, but once you got off it it was sleds only :)

Actually pretty good riding on the hills off the road with a few exception that were wind blown.

lots of dead ones coming from just north of the parking area and lots of tracks but no live ones, there were about 25 of them on a hillside north of the parking lot at sunrise but by the time we got there they were on the move and the 1981 ski-doo everst was having problems so we had to turn back.
