Trail Overview

Beautiful ride on a generally well-maintained road that varies between canyons and mountaintops. Starts near Fremont Indian State Park at the north and terminates just south of the Silver King Mine. The road wasn't heavily traveled, and it was mapped during a light rainstorm, so conditions did stay stable. Be sure to stop at the Silver King Mine and do the walking tour for a great insight into Utah mining history. Fremont Indian State Park at the north terminus for a great look at the indigenous history of the Fremont Indians. Fun fact: at the small parking area about 1/4 mile from the northern terminus is where Fremont Indian State Park does their scorpion hunt monthly, so if you go there in the dark with a blacklight, the rocky area on the banks is full of scorpions!
