I'm trying to find all the information I can on the trails. Any suggestions? We want scenery and not too much MUD. My wife and I are coming to the Iron Range to quad at the end of July.

The Club President told me I was the volunteer ride coordinator for our club rides this year. (huh? me?) So we should make arrangements to do that. It would be fun to get some other groups together and have a weekend ride. The 70-Mile Trail will be great for the whole area once it's completed. I think most people will look at it's value to the community and support it. I'm excited to see it coming! Mark That sounds like a great idea.

You can download and print them right away. If your planning on spending a couple days on the trails, I'm sure your first day will be at the ATV park in Gilbert? The second day I'd recommend the Thistledew trails North of Nashwauk. It'd be about an hour ride from the Villa's but you can ride up there for the whole day and next cross paths!!! When your up there you'll cross lots of powerlines and old logging roads with heavily ridden trails that you can turn off and spend some time on. I'd brind a 5 gallon can of gas (twin polaris 800's will suck it up), you might be having so much that your not ready to quit and there isn't gas anywhere close. There's lots of other trails that I could point you towards if you have or hear about something else your interested in, let my know!!!! Don't forget to comment on your weekend!

We wil be staying at Villas at Giants Ridge. My question is, is there 1 place to ride or are there several trail heads we can take on different days? How do I get ahold of the best trail maps? I have 2 new 800cc Polaris 2-ups that I am very excited to break in. I am coming to the Iron range for the first time ever in July with my daughter, a friend and his son.

Could you email me on the next rides you have coming up? I have done all the north shore trails and would like to see some range trails. I have been to Gilbert and really didn't care for the "caged" riding. I would like to go for a ride some weekend. Could you email me on the next rides you have coming up?

Thanks for writing back to me! I'm really looking forward to getting out and riding some more! Maybe we can get together and ride the trails with you this summer. It'd be awesome to set-up a big ride on the trails on the Range this summer with a bunch of different trail clubs from across the area. Let me know if you are interested! On another note, the progress on the 70 mile trail is very positive for the entire ATV industry and Iron Range as a whole. Hi, Mark. Thanks for writing back to me!
