The morning at Legacy Acres Ranch smells of warm dirt and engine oil as small ATVs idle on a sunlit dirt drive. Kids line up behind DOT-approved helmets and goggles, instructors giving clipped, clear directions. Tires bite into 21 acres of open fields, short berms, and dirt tracks; the landscape pushes riders forward with gentle inclines and quick turns that feel bigger than the map suggests.
