Riding area is in High Desert with sagebrush. Area is actively grazed by livestock. Large mountain with a canyon (Raspberry Canyon) that bisects the Northern and Southern loops. Trails climb up into some Juniper and Pinyon pine woodlands.

Trails are suitable for UTV use. Mostly narrow two-track trails along Northern loop and wider trails in southern loop. There are some active mining operations to the south but a through road is open to public use. There are some steep climbs and descents. Use caution when driving down because there are multiple sharp/blind curves that may result in rolling. Run time for both loops is approx. 4 hrs.

There are a few options for staging in this area. There is a large turn around to southern side of the Cosgrave Rest Area, Exit 158 along I-80. Staging at the actual Cosgrave Rest Area is not encouraged. You may only park your vehicle there for a max of 18 hrs and your rig may cause congestion at the rest area. However, please feel free to use the facilities before and after recreating. Cell Service is available at Cosgrave Rest Area. Staging is also available at the Dun Glen exit, #151, on the East side of the freeway. Both staging areas are a short drive south of Winnemucca. Free camping, chamber toilets, and additional OHV recreation is available at Water Canyon BLM Recreation Area. Backcountry camping on surrounding BLM is also available.

Motor vehicles are permitted on designated trails only. For local regulations regarding OHV use on county roads, visit the BLM OHV Website https://www.blm.gov/programs/recreation/OHV.

Always plan ahead and prepare for uncertainty. Travel with warm clothing, first aid, food, water and appropriate tools to fix a problem.

Traveling in groups is always a good idea, as well as informing someone of where you will be going. Active mining operations in the area - use caution. Northern Loop requires some expert skill due to multiple blind curves.
