Bangs Canyon OHV Trails offers a diverse motorized recreation experience on BLM land just minutes from Grand Junction, Colorado. The trail system accommodates a range of vehicles and skill levels, from single-track motorcycle routes to ATV-width trails and challenging rock crawling sections in Billings Canyon for experienced 4×4 enthusiasts.

The high desert terrain provides sweeping views of the surrounding mesas and canyons, with elevations creating varied riding conditions. Spring and fall deliver the most comfortable temperatures for extended riding, while summer visits require early morning starts to beat the heat.

Dispersed camping is permitted on BLM land surrounding the trail system, allowing visitors to set up camp near their riding areas. No developed campgrounds exist within the OHV area itself, so bring all water, supplies, and pack out all waste. Access is straightforward from Grand Junction via paved roads leading to designated staging areas.

Riders should carry maps or GPS units, as trail intersections can be confusing. The rocky terrain demands appropriate tires and ground clearance for vehicle-based exploration.
