Jacob City Soldier Canyon Loop

Two major issues with this route. The eastern portion of this route appears to pass through private property and is marked with no trespassing signs. According to the Tooele County parks and rec trail plan document this is a known issue with public trail sites and needs to be addressed. You can observe this by googling "Oquirrh Mountains Trails Plan 2024" and this info is on page 37. The other issue is the northwestern portion of this route travels through another marked "no trespassing" area.

Trail is posted no trespassing at the NW corner closest to Stockton when the trail turns off the gravel road and heads counter-clockwise. Location is 40°25'38"N, 112°19'50"W

West side is open and beautiful

Absolutely awesome trail! Definitely not for beginners. I did the full loop. I came in on dry canyon trail and went around the west side of the loop. On the north side as you begin going up the east there was a lot of water run off that made the ride pretty dope like you were mobbing in a river! However it caused a lot of washouts and slippery mud! On the east side was a very steep climb with big rocks that would make it very difficult to go down which is why I recommend going clockwise around the loop. Right before you complete the loop (if you go around clockwise like j did) you’ll hit two spots of snow! The first is deep and you just need to hit the gas! (Thats where I got stuck) the others any skilled dirt bike rider can avoid! There isn’t quite enough space for a 4X4 to get around the snow.
