Toys for Tots Trail Ride (Evart) 2023

This is a fairly easy run with some dust, sandy washboards, and depending on conditions maybe a bit of mud/snow/ice. If you have never been offroad, this is a great place to start!  This trail can take a bit of time, similar to our Tin Cup Rides. So please plan to be out on the trail for at least a few hours. I would assume some of us will join together after the ride to grab some lunch at a nearby restaurant. So feel free to join us afterwards as well! ORV AND ORV Trail tags required.

Since we are collecting toys, gifts, and donations for Toys for Tots at the end of the ride feel free to decorate your Jeeps and/or dress up with Christmas decor. You never know, there might be prizes given away for best decorated Jeep(s) and best outfits/attire!

We will be meeting at the Evart ORV Trailhead Parking Lot.
