The Trail Rating System is designed to allow you to plan ahead for our upcoming trail ride events. These ratings are the Trail Command System volunteers and the Board of Directors strong recommendations for each trail we run. The trail ratings are recommendations to allow the driver to safely complete the main trail with minimal, body damage, undercarriage scraping, or vehicle extractions under ideal weather and trail conditions. In the event of adverse conditions (snow, ice, excessive rain) the ratings automatically jump up one number.

As you can see some trails carry a split rating. What this represents is an aggressive driver may be able to complete the trail with the lesser recommendation, while the more cautious driver may want to heed the higher rating. The TCS and BOD of the JonFund reserve the right to ask a driver not carrying the minimum recommendations to discontinue travel if they are continually impeding movement of the group.
