Trail Overview

North Skyline Drive is a maintained trail from Fairview Canyon to US-6. Fairview Canyon is the popular entrance to this canyon and is maintained better. There are many boondocking options along the whole trail. This trail is good for all levels of off-roading vehicles as it is wide for a majority of the trail.

Easy dirt road with a few shallow ruts here and there. 4WD not needed. Gorgeous views. Temps were mild and the wildflowers were in bloom. No mud or snow present.

Around 9,000 feet, specifically Bennion Ridge, road is littered with snowbanks and stretches of muddy uphill climbs. As of submission date, impassible to most vehicles. High caution to stock vehicles in and past this area. Many spots below 9k with water flowing across the road, potentially causing road damage in the coming days and weeks. One spot in particular, the water had carved a stream about 6-12 inches deep and a foot or two across through the road. Many campsites are waterlogged and or also muddy leading up to Bennion ridge, but we found one just fine. Decent amount of traffic, by 4pm most spots were taken.

As you proceed muddy areas become more abundant with large snow patches as you are heading uphill. Had to turn around.
