Trail Overview

Lockhart Basin is way off the beaten path, incredibly rough and rocky, and borders Canyonlands National Park. It's not safe to take this one alone. Give yourself plently of time if you expect to get through it in one day. Add Lockhart Canyon for a fun overnight trip, but don't forget extra water and fuel. Hamburger Rock Campground is available for a small fee. Avoid Canyonlands National Park if you're riding an ATV or UTV.

Difficulty

Difficult. The first 2 miles is the toughest part. After that, it's mostly moderate with intermittent mildly difficult spots. Heavy rains can make it worse. After Waypoint 04, it's easier. Aggressive, stock, high-clearance 4x4 SUVs can do it with experienced driver.

Connected in from Elephant hill (canyon lands). If you are unsure of your ability I would NOT recommend going this way. I found myself faced with a descent I wasn't confident with, and the only other option back tracking 40+ miles of trail (60 miles to gas in montecello?) and taking chances with gas. If approaching from hurrah pass, this hill would be the first major obstacle encountered and an easy turn around point. All said and done, the trail is spectacular and I made it in a 2011 frontier with 33s and sliders with no damage. But it was near the max of my skills and the rigs ability.
