Trail Overview
Behind the Reef is a rugged and unmaintained OHV/ATV trail within the BLM's San Rafael Swell trail system. The main trail starts at Temple Mountain Campground and passes along the N side of the swell, passing numerous slot canyon hike trailheads - Bell, Ding, Dang, Little Wildhorse, and Crack Canyons. At roughly 6.5 miles in, the character of the trails grows more rugged with a rocky climb along a ledge. Further along at mile 13, the trail changes from a high-clearance full-width trail at the intersection with BLM854. This trail passes through numerous washes and will be impacted by wet weather.
