DESCRIPTION: Participants spend about 60+ miles over four to five days riding Polaris all‑terrain vehicles across trails designed specifically for this program—featuring a mix of singletrack, doubletrack, and some gravel—with terrain ranging from easy to intermediate and plenty of muddy technical sections. Safety training is a priority: riders receive comprehensive instruction in ATV handling, trail etiquette, basic mechanics, and recovery techniques. Along the route, crews pause at scenic overlooks, natural landmarks, and other stops in West Virginia’s rugged backwoods. The experience is welcoming to newcomers—no prior ATV experience is required—but participants should expect a physically demanding adventure: riding provokes significant exertion and encourages teamwork, resilience, and confidence in outdoor skills .
