There are thousands of ATV trails in North America (and growing daily). Here are a few factors to consider when deciding where to take your four-wheeled "baby" on your next pleasure cruise.

In general, if you are familiar with four-wheel drive, you will probably want an ATV trail of some length. Otherwise, you may get bored just going around the same field in circles. ATV trails can be anywhere from a few kilometers to a hundred kilometers long, so start small and gradually build up your endurance. If you are a beginner, ask an experienced person to teach you. Going alone is not recommended as it is dangerous.

If the ATV trail is not suitable for your abilities, it will not be much fun. So, if you are a beginner, do not start your four-wheel drive hobby in extreme mountainous areas or in places that require expertise in ATV riding. Likewise, those who have a lot of experience in ATV operation should find the right trails, or they will be fatigued in less than an hour.

Also, since one of the best parts of ATVing is enjoying nature, I recommend that you take in the stunning scenery and take in the beauty of the area on your next trail ride. You don't have to be a photographer, artist, or poet to be impressed by a meandering river or a glorious sunrise.

Not sure if a trail or area is open to ATV travelers? Then do not ride on any trail or area until you are told "OK" by the owner or legal authorities. Too many four-wheeler enthusiasts have given the sport a bad image by vandalizing private property and tearing up national parks. There are plenty of legal ATV trails, but make sure that the trail you choose is legal or you could face heavy fines.

The last thing you want is to get lost while ATV trail riding. Riding in the wind and rain without the proper equipment can be uncomfortable, scary, and in some cases even deadly. Therefore, if you are not familiar with ATV trails, get a map of the area so that you can keep track of your location. Even if you don't need to look at a map, it's better to have one than to get lost in the dark night wondering "where am I?

Finally, one of the most important elements of a great ATV trail is that it is a trail that you want to share with your friends and other riders. If you can't wait to brag about your recent trip to other four-wheel drive adventurers on your blog, you'll know you've found a great trail. Once you've found something really exciting, it's up to you to share the news with your friends around the world.
