Kanarra Mountain Road

Trail Overview

Kanarra Mountain is a 10.8-mile point-to-point improved dirt road rated 2 of 10 that crosses a section of the Kolob Terrace. Kanarra Mountain Road will be closed during winter months and open in late spring after the snow melts and the road has been assessed by the County Transportation officials. The road climbs the Hurricane Cliffs just north of Kanarraville, Utah rising more than 4000 feet in the 11-mile route. The road offers vista views of the Cedar valley throughout the climb. The road is maintained by the county as it leads to private ranches along the Bean Hill region. Upon reaching the summit the road transitions to Upper Basin Road which continues until it reaches the Kolob Reservoir. Kanarra Mountain Road climbs through Pinyon Pines to Alpine Meadows and even Birch Tree forests. During the late spring, the Alpine Meadows will bloom with purple, blue, and yellow wildflowers. In early fall the leaves will start changing color and rival anywhere in the nation for beauty and landscape. The road crests at 8700 feet before dropping down to the intersection with Upper Basin Road. The road then continues up across Pine Spring Knoll and ends at the Kolob Road. The Kolob Terrace is a primitive area and there are no services so be prepared with water, a spare, and other items you might need if you break down. Due to snow fall the road is usually closed in November and does not open back up until June.
