East Newfoundland Road

Trail Overview

This trail follows the east side of the Newfoundland Mountains, a very remote mountain range located in the middle of the Great Salt Lake Desert. This trail runs from the Railroad tracks in the North and ends at a gate for the Utah Test and Training Range near the Southern end of the mountains. The trail is a semi-improved trail, with a mix of dirt and gravel in some areas. When conditions are dry/frozen, this is a pretty easy trail that could be ridden by any 2WD vehicle with decent clearance. However, if there has been any recent rains or snowmelt, you can expect this trail to get muddy and have numerous rutted spots; you will want 4WD. There are numerous rutted spots that could prove to be a challenge in wet conditions. The trail has several offshoots to several smaller canyons, including Dells Canyon and Sleigh Canyon, that have potential camp spots. This is a very remote area with sparse cell service, so be prepared for emergencies and travel with a buddy.
