Potts Mountain Jeep Trail is one of the only public trails in all of Virginia that caters specifically for technical and challenging off-roading. The trail is rated as difficult and is not for stock four-wheel drive vehicles. There are multiple obstacles to navigate through and over including large boulders, tall ledges, tree stumps, water crossings, off-camber areas, etc. There are some bypasses along the way but many of them are not much easier. The trail travels through scenic but very remote wilderness in the Jefferson and George Washington National Forest so it is not advised to drive the trail alone.
