Rule Ridge Trailhead

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Dust and engine noise define the atmosphere at Rule Ridge Trailhead, a dispersed OHV staging area in Pike National Forest outside campgrounds near Divide. Tent campers should think twice. The site draws ATVs and off-highway vehicles regularly, and residential properties border the forest edge, which means the Sheriff occasionally patrols and enforces noise shutdowns. Most spots are spacious enough for trailers, with a vault toilet and trash cans at the forest entrance. Bring hearing protection and expect activity on weekends.

Lots of spots- dusty and busy

This place is great for anyone with a trailer. Because it’s dusty and and OHV hot spots, it would be very loud for anyone tenting. Majority of spots are spacious, some great for groups of 2 (maybe 3). There is a vaulted bathroom with trash cans when you enter onto National Forest property. There are houses that butt right up to the forest line so the I believe there may be “quiet” times as the Sheriff does come through and just makes a presence and will give a reminder to shut down all the OHV’s that whip around the street/trails.
