The Elkford ATV Club boasts a variety of surrounding trails. Head to the staging area near Grave Lake to try out the Crown Mountain route, which will take you into the Alexander Creek valley and back. This trail is closed from September 1 to November 30.

Another popular zone is Sand Creek, which takes riders up a series of switchbacks and rewards them with a splendid view of Tie Lake. This trail may not accommodate side-by-sides.
