BLM13310

Trail Overview

BLM13310 is a 2.5-mile point-to-point trail rated 3 of 10 located in Garfield County, Utah on the southernmost section of the Henry Mountains. BLM13310 transits some of the most unique geological formations within the Henry Mountain area. There are several short (less than half mile) trails leading into the canyons that extend off BLM 13310 that are worth exploring. During the spring months, there may be water in the basin located within the center of this looping trail system. The Henry Mountains and the surrounding deserts are located in south-central Utah, just north of Lake Powell. Here, almost 2 million acres of public land are administered by the Bureau of Land Management. The Henry Mountains is also notable for the free-roaming herd of bison that live there, one of only four such herds in the country (the other 3 are in Yellowstone Park). The population was established in 1941 after relocation of 18 individual bison from Yellowstone National Park. Today the herd is estimated to be between 250 and 400 bison. There are more than a thousand miles of off-highway trails available throughout the Henry Mountains. Cell phone service is intermittent to non-existent and the nearest services are in Hanksville to the north. There are several gas stations along Highway 276 between the Bullfrog Marina and Hanksville.
