Trail Overview

The Bunkerville Choo Choo trail runs along the Virgin Mountain foothills. As you travel along the washes and mountain ridges, be on the lookout for cattle, as this is free range land. Along the way you will pass the remains of the Key West Mine and the Great Eastern Mine. You will also pass through a narrow canyon called the Seeps. Don't forget to stop and see Keyhole Rock, a natural arch in the granite rock. Finally, the trails namesake is a rail car that was hauled up into the hills to serve as a water tender for grazing cattle.

Posted Private Property

Private Property sign posted from West to East about 3-4 miles in. You can reroute through other BLM (less maintained roads) but beware.

This geolocation is in the wrong spot, you will drive past this on your way. The actual Choo is a mile east.
