Trail Overview

Starting from the historic Pony Express Route on the north, Flint Springs Road stretches southward, hugging the contours of the Keg Mountains. As you navigate this trail, the terrain showcases rugged rock formations and wide-open desert vistas, creating a striking backdrop for your journey. The road itself is primarily dirt and gravel, suitable for vehicles with high clearance and off-road capabilities, especially as you explore the various side roads that branch off into more remote areas.

Access Description

Traveling west from Vernon or Simpson Springs on the Pony Express Route, cross to Old River Bed Road and climb the hill. At the top of the hill, take the first left along the west side of rocky hills. Traveling east from Fish Springs Wildlife Area or the Dugway Geode Beds on the Pony Express Route, as you come to the overlook looking down on Old River Bed Road, you'll see a road leading south along the west side of the rocky hills. From the south, coming from the Weiss Highway, you'll reach the southwest corner of the Keg Mountains and find a cross-roads with Flint Springs Road leading north.
