Trail Overview

Copper Ridge offers wide-open views and desert solitude. The trail follows the western boundary of Arches National Park (note: ATVs are not allowed in the park) and offers views of the white and red Klondike Bluffs. The road passes over some slickrock and sand. Route-finding is challenging at times; follow CR signs and white dashes.

Difficulty

Hardest spot is a rocky downhill section at the beginning that requires high ground clearance, good tire placement, and a spotter. The rest of the trail consists of slickrock, soft sand, and a few short steep climbs.
