Hitt Mountain ATV loops _ Payette NF

The Sturgill Mountain Lookout area in the Weiser Ranger District provides three scenic ATV trail loops comprising about 23 miles total. The Sturgill and Hitt Mountains typically open up to snow-free travel in early July because of high-elevation. These trail loops are two-track ATV trails, with several steep sections. Overall the trails are rated moderate in difficulty by Forest Service standards. Each loop is a section of backcountry road or 4WD track linking the trails together. Riding time varies, but it would take approximately six hours to complete the three loops shown on the trip map. Trail mileage would vary according to where you start the ride. The highlights of these loops are great views, Sturgill Lookout itself is 7,600 feet in elevation with stunning views of the surrounding landscape, including the Eagle Cap Wilderness, Seven Devils Wilderness and Cuddy Mountains, and chances to see wildlife. These ATV loop trails are best accessed from the Mann Creek Reservoir Road shown as Forest Road #009 on the Payette National Forest map. You can park at one the campgrounds and ride from there, or drive to the top of Sturgill and ride.
