Just a few minutes north of Horizon Drive lies one of Grand Junction’s OHV areas. Trails branch off in every direction as far as the eye can see.

Similar to the Grand Junction OHV area, North Fruita Desert is full of rolling hills covered in trails that scatter across the landscape.
Serious rock crawlers have to put 21 Road and the Billings Canyon Jeep Trail on their list. Both navigate steep climbs, sharp turns, and taunting boulders. Billings Canyon is rated a 9 out of ten for jeeping, and both require a winch in places.
Forty-five minutes east of Grand Junction, the Grand Mesa rises dramatically above the valley. This Mesa is bursting with over 300 lakes and is the largest flat-top mountain in the world. Navigate through dense forests of pine and aspen trees, visit clear-blue alpine lakes and enjoy the unbeatable views from the top of the Mesa. Land’s End Road is a popular spot for OHV. Side roads spur off Land’s End for miles and miles of scenic riding.
