Trail Overview
This is a well-traveled two-track with all types of 4x4 and off-road machines. This trail is a great way to overlook the Tooele Valley above Stansbury Park and Erda. You will encounter some large rocks and rutted roads along the way to the top. There is a gate at the end where motorized travel is prohibited. You can hike or ride a horse to the top of the canyon if you want to complete the entire trail. This is one of the main trails in the Bates Canyon Trailhead network. It is a 3-4 difficulty depending on your mode of transportation. There are some steep parts with big ruts and boulders. This is really enjoyable on a SxS or Dirt Bike.
