At 9 p.m., the trailhead sits in a pocket of light that refuses to fade. The Midnight Sun ATV Adventure pushes into spruce and birch, where long sunsets paint the slopes and casts of mountain ridgelines still glow while the forest floor cools. Guides line up machines and run a quick safety check; the hum of engines blends with the distant rush of rivers daring you deeper into the dusk.
