About this place
The Big Flat dispersed camping area is a favorite recreational spot anytime of the year because of the spectacular scenery. ATV riders can access the Paiute ATV trail from dispersed camping sites. Many non-motorized trails are also accessable to hiking and horse riding. This area also offers winter sport opportunities such as snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Common vegetation includes Engelmann spruce, aspen and fir. The general terrain is a large meadow encompassed by aspen and mixed conifer trees. This area is open to ATV use on designated routes only. Please help prevent erosion and soil compaction by staying on roads and motorized trails. Driving on the meadows creates ruts or channels that water flows down removing topsoil and creating scars that last many lifetimes. Also, delicate meadow plants can be damaged leaving less forage for wildlife and leaving the soil unprotected. When riders drive through the trees and around them in circles the soil becomes compacted, depriving root systems of water and air, this will eventually kill the tree.
