Rode 717 and 717B out of the Divide trailhead. Some of the trails were fairly narrow for ATV's but we made it through fine. The north part of 717B was burned by the Hayman fire in 2002, but many of the trails are still open

As far as ATVs go, very narrow trails (but passible). A lot of ducking for branches. Trails were NOT well marked. Trails forked often...a trail map is a MUST!!!

The boys and I rode on a Thurs and we did not see a sole. Some of the trails had just been maintained by the FS and were in great shape. We rode for about 3 hours and did not even get off 717. We are going back soon.
