Rattlesnake Arches Jeep Trail

Trail Overview

This is a mostly easy two-wheel drive dirt and gravel road. The last few miles do require a high clearance vehicle. This route is an out and back through BLM lands with lots of Pinyon and Juniper trees, open sagebrush parks, and views of beautiful red sandstone cliffs and canyons off in the distance. There is open cattle range and limited camping sites. At the end of the trail is a half-mile hike to some natural sandstone arches.

Difficulty

This road is mostly very easy; however the last few miles require a high clearance vehicle as there are a few rocky sections and a few small ledges. There is one ledge that is almost 18" but with some rock stacking it would be closer to 12"; therefore it merits the #3 "easy" rating.
