Michelin North America plans to name three off-road trails to its BFGoodrich Tires Outstanding Trails program in 2011, and is giving enthusiasts a vote.
MNA, in conjunction with Tread Lightly and United Four Wheel Drive Associations, have already chosen the Interlake Trail 19 located in Lynnville, Ind., and Morrison Jeep Trail in Shoshone National Forest, Wyo., to be 2011 Outstanding Trails. Off-road enthusiasts now have the opportunity to vote for their favorite BFGoodrich-nominated off-road trail to be the third.
Fans in the off-road community can vote at bfgoodrichtrails2011.outdoorhub.com. The winning trail will receive a $4,000 grant on behalf of BFGoodrich for trail conservation and maintenance efforts.
The four trails up for vote are:
Golden Spike Trail in Moab, Utah supported by Red Rock 4-Wheelers
Dusy-Ershim OHV Route in Sanger, Calif. supported by Four Wheel Drive Club of Fresno
Blanca Peak Trail in Blanca, Colo. supported by Creeper Jeepers Gang
Mirror Lake Trail in Sierra National Forest, Calif. supported by Lock and Low 4-Wheel Drive Club
“Off-road enthusiasts are passionate about their trails, and we anticipate many will offer their input,” said Marcus Baffoe-Bonnie, BFGoodrich marketing manager. “For the past six years, the BFGoodrich Outstanding Trails program has recognized off-road trails as well as the clubs that run them. Congratulations to Interlake Trail 19 and Morrison Trail for being named 2011 Outstanding Trails, and of course we wish the best of luck to the four trails that are up for vote!”
Online voting opened April 21 and will run through May 31. The winning trail will be selected based on popular vote and announced on June 3 at bfgoodrichtires.com.
