Little Sahara and Doc Hilt Trails

[chrisk5]

My friends and I are planning a trip to Little Sahara this coming year and I was hoping to get some feedback, tips, pics etc. We have a couple friends that used to make the trip every year and thanks to them my friends and I have gotten really excited about LS. My brother started a thread on Pirate4x4 and I was hoping to start the same thing here.

Here in Alabama our favorite place to ride is Doc Hilt Trails. No track has been made yet but there is talk of doing one in the near future. Currently it's just miles of trails that are a lot of fun with many erosion control bars in the trails -jumps for us!:D We used to ride a lot at Monster Mountain in Tallassee, AL. But quads aren't allowed on the big MX track anymore and the vintage track, the only one quads are allowed on, is in ruins from lack of unkeep. Plus the trails aren't kept up anymore either and is no longer fun, just annoying. Doc Hilt hasn't been around long but is growing and is definitely quad friendly. Hopefully enough people will help out with their insistence of a track and maybe help build it. Check 'em out at- http://www.dochilttrails.com/

Me and some friends make the trip to Little Sahara OK in 08. Was a great time. We booked a camping site through Little Sahara Power Sports. Site had 110 and 220 electric hook ups and a water hook up. Buy your flags there if you dont already have them and the best thing is you can ride 24/7 there. nothing like a 3am run out into the dunes in complete darkness. Eat at the mexican place in town at the old train station. Food is great.

we go to LS once a year. I sugest you go in the spring or fall.

i go a lot and love it man. if you are able i would go in on a wednesday or a thursday so the first time you go out you're not out there with a bunch of idiots and you can get used to the dunes safely. also don't go on any "big" weekends b/c it's very packed and the sand is crap. if you camp go to the south campground and reserve your spots as soon as you can. i'll post some pics when i get home later

Do yourself a favor and get the lay of the land before you decide to tear it up. The dunes are always changing with the wind. Watch out for razorbacks (dunes that drop straight off on the back side). Always wear your helmet and goggles :D
