Took trail #10. Rode the creek bed for the first 4 miles and returned on the main trail on the return. A little dusty due to lack of rain but it was still a good ride. My first time driving road. It was a good trail for beginners.

Great singletrack, does have rocky and sandy areas. Be careful of SxS traffic

Bulldog canyon is truly a hidden gem. It’s one of the best off-roading areas and has some really great views perfect, which are perfect for photo opportunities. There is a gate code which changes frequently, which is the only downside to visiting this area.

Wolverine Pass is a beautiful area that we frequently hike. But due to people cutting fence to by-pass the gate lock there has been a great deal of illegal dumping. Some folks camp in the parking lot!

Absolutely stupendous. This trail was very clean and had plenty of options from hiking to dirt bike riding. I would say this is a tougher course not meant for brand new riders, but I made it through 10 and 3554 on my DRZ on my first time out. It was challenging and enjoyable, but the views were all worth it! Absolutely will be making my way back again at some point, but would like to see more dirt and fewer baseball sized rocks and sand for a first time ride.

Fun area for the family.Been riding the bullsogs for 30 years.The gates help keep most of the riffraff out.You have to get a permit from the forest rangers.Either by email or in person.There are tons of trails. Just make sure you stay on them. And dont go through smashed down fences. And please remember to close and lock the gate as you enter or leave the park.

There are lots of low peaks to climb and a nice horse/hiking trail to hike. Just watch out on the roads, at times there are idiot ATV riders who think it is a race course. Lots of hills and curves so you cant see them coming, fortunately most are loud so you can hear them.

Great place for some off road fun. Nice trails, river beds, a few challenges. Id rate most of this as easy with a couple moderate. Great views!

Nice place for a day run, from wolverine to blue point is 10 miles. Out and back is a side by side can be done in 4-6 hours with stops to enjoy the scenery. Easy terrain at each end but a little Rocky in the middle 50 percent. Rain will cause some difficult ruts. 4wd definitely needed. Dont take your stock vehicle with out backup.

This is a gorgeous place to get out of the city without having to drive too far. You must have 4 wheel drive to drive it, and theres a permit required to enter.

Love Bulldog Canyon! Weve been going back there for years, we do many things back there; camping, hunting, hiking, quad & truck trail rides and even (only in monsoon) & catching. We have seen many beautiful animal & some weird azz bugs. Yes you do need a pass and there are trails you must stay on(but you can park and walk/hike any where), but the pass free.

I think this area is real nice if you have an off road vehicle. I have a two wheel drive so it isnt that great for me personally. The gate is an inconvenience as well. Not to mention the permit you need to have.
