Trail Overview

This track, through BLM lands, is a steady uphill very rocky climb to an elevation of nearly 8000 feet. Once you peak at the top, the trail is just a dirt trail that will be muddy in the early spring. It connects to Monroe Mount Rd (Kingston Cnyn to Forshea Mtn) on one end and Papa Bear Poker Run on the other. Moving across the top of the mountain, we saw a coyote. There is a nice low spot that collects run-off so the wildlife can get water. This is a good place for wildlife viewing. There are thousands of miles of trails up in this area to ride, and most are free of snow by early June. Some of the higher trails may not be clear till July, depending on how much snow they get. The cactus had the most beautiful pink and yellow blooms, and the flowers ran the gamut of colors...purple, red, yellow, white, and pink. In February of 2023, Utah began enforcement of a new law, which requires an online education course for all off-roaders. The free course is available online. Google "Utah OHV Education Course," and the free test will pop up. It's an easy test that will only take 15-30 minutes, and it's required for all off-roaders, Jeeps, SXSs, dirt bikes, and ATVs. Kids under the age of 18 will have to take the Youth Education Test at the same site. After completing the test, print out the certificate to carry with you which shows you completed the course. We have taken it, and it's really no big deal. Good reminders about trail etiquette and trail preservation.

Difficulty

The long rocky hill is the only possible obstacle on this trail. The rocks are loose in places, as is the dirt. Otherwise, this is an easy trail.
