Trail Overview

This trail is a little tight with overgrowth and has washed out in the past, but it is still a fairly easy trail. There are some rocks and narrow areas, so a large vehicle is not advised, but you can take it at your own risk. This is a short trail, but it connects Hickman Canyon Road to the singletrack Stansbury Front Trail. In the spring, there is a large amount of water runoff, which can significantly increase the difficulty of this route. You will find the old Hickman Cabin remains towards the end of Bear Fork.

Difficulty

There are narrow spots and washouts with a few rocks that require more clearance than a car. Tight for a full-sized truck, but it is possible with care and a lot of pinstripes from the trees

History

There are historical cabins near the end that are explained at the information boards.

The Bear Fork Canyon road branches off near the end of Hickman Canyon Road (graded gravel) and climbs to the Bear Fork Trailhead, where you can access the Stansbury Front Trail. Conditions were dry when I drove it, but the road is rocky, narrow, and steep in places, so a high-clearance 4WD vehicle is a must. If you'd rather not take your rig up, there's a roomy parking area just below the canyon at the end of Hickman Canyon Road.

Bear Fork Trail can be accessed by the following ride types:

  • Single Track
  • 50 Inch
  • 60 Inch
  • High Clearance
