The Quartz Creek Trail is a 16-mile-long, old mining trail that is best suited for intermediate and expert riders. The terrain is rugged and rocky with steep grades, rough sections, and several stream crossings. The trail climbs into alpine tundra, offering sweeping valley views. While it has some muddy sections, the overall difficulty and technical demands make it a challenging ride.
The trail is open to dirtbikes and ATVs up to 64 inches wide, but UTVs are not permitted. It is located on BLM land within the White Mountains National Recreation Area. Camping is permitted at the end of the trail or at the nearby Mt. Prindle Campground.Dirt Bike Trail System
