The trailhead is located due south of the Park Visitor Center via an I-70 underpass. There are restrooms and picnic tables available at the trailhead.

The trail climbs south from the trailhead up a canyon with twists, turns, stream crossings, and vegetation changes from sagebrush and pinyon-juniper to oak, mountain mahogany, aspen, pine, and fir forests. The changes in vegetation and temperature are noticeable as riders make this 3,800 ft. change in elevation.

The upper portion of the trail offers wildlife viewing and many photo opportunities and is limited to machines less than 50 inches.

Once at the top of the Max Reid Trail, visitors are a quarter of a mile from the Silver King Mine, which has restrooms and a historic mining operation that is worth the visit.
