National Park Service Will Cite AWD Drivers for Driving on 4WD-Only Trails


A Reddit user shared the citation they received for driving a Subaru Crosstrek on a 4WD-only road

The letter gently reminds the Crosstrek owner that future violations may incur a collateral forfeiture, a fine up to $5,000, up to six months imprisonment, and/or other penalties. While the difference between AWD and 4WD may seem like a pedantic argument, it’s an important distinction that could potentially save lives on technically challenging and isolated trails. While experience, skill and a litany of other factors play into an off-roader’s likelihood of getting stuck, the National Park Service just wants to keep all visitors safe.
