Trail Overview

Also known as Arapeen Trail 46, part of the larger Arapeen Trail system. One of those trails that "has it all". Can be smooth, can be rocky, can be loose rolling rocks, can be mudholes, off-camber sections, and steep loose descents if coming from Skyline Drive which equates to steep loose climbs if coming from Manti Canyon Road - FR45. There are several water crossings. The trail will become exceptionally technical after a moderate rain event. The trail is single-width in many places with little room to pass another vehicle without someone backing up. The trail follows the north fork of Manti Canyon, as its name implies, and winds its way several thousand feet from bottom to top.
