About Morris Mountain
The park was created from a lack of places to go wheeling.  It started as a pastime for Kris and Randy Morris and quickly grew into Morris Mountain ORV Park.  The park now has obstacles, trails, mud pits, canyons, and a primitive camping facility.

Our experience trying to find places to ride kept leading us to areas that forced you to pay for full weekends, camping facilities, or required reservations, making a spur of the moment one day wheeling trip impractical or unaffordable.  As a result,  MMORV has flexible hours and low fees to allow the average joe to take a half -day wheeling trip or a weekend long outing.

Morris Mountain ORV park will be open on the 2nd and 4th weekends of every month only.  Note this does not apply to privately rented events.

Picture image not square on screen, sides are angled in.  Caused by projector not being level ( lens pointing up or down towards the screen) and/or not being square with the screen

It was surprisingly tough just to get it to play with the wind, cocktail consumption, and limited reception. My projector remote batteries were dead, and that was the stopping point once we actually had it playing, with sound, next to the fire.  We’ll get it dialed in.

I'll be there around that time.  I have a dark blue Ford F250 tow pig, and a Green-ish TJ on big tires.  I'm a fat man with some blonde hair (and some balding areas).

You'll probably see a group with a Blue TJ, Yellow TJ, Red YJ, a small buggy, and some other rigs close by.  Almost all of us will have a truck/trailer combo; some 'trucks' may actually be Suburbans with diesel engines.

On GMRS we will likely be on channel 13 (467.6875), if we remember to turn them on.

I haven’t been there in 10 years, but Morris has always been a good place for a first time ride. It’s easy to get around and there are by-passes for any obstacles that you don’t want to try or if you want to follow the bigger rigs around and watch them tackle the harder stuff.
