About this Adventure

The Hellsgate Wilderness near Payson, Arizona, doesn’t allow motorized vehicles within its boundaries, but surrounding UTV trails offer rugged, scenic adventure. Forest roads like Bear Flat and Mescal Ridge provide varied terrain, from steep climbs to ridgeline views. More challenging routes near the boundary, like the Pocket and Hell’s Gate trails, offer rocky sections, creek crossings, and canyon vistas—ideal for experienced riders seeking remote backcountry terrain. In beautiful Star Valley, Arizona 26 MIles UTV trails near Hellsgate Wilderness offer rugged terrain, scenic views, and varying difficulty. Bear Flat and Mescal Ridge provide easier forest roads and ridgelines, while Pocket and Hell’s Gate trails bring steep climbs, rocky shelf roads, and creek crossings—ideal for skilled drivers with high-clearance 4WDs. Best in spring or fall, these routes offer remote, technical riding just outside the wilderness boundary.
