Trail Overview

Red Mountain is a great off-road trail located just outside of Vernal, Utah. This is open to anyone, but is most popular with ATVs, UTVs, and Jeeps. The area makes a great half-day to full-day ride. The trailhead has a large parking lot with a bathroom. The trail climbs a large mesa with panoramic views before descending down to a reservoir, and then to Moonshine Arch, before returning to the trailhead.

Trail has some washed out sections close to docs beach but overall in good shape. Little snow patches towards the top but just a light layer. Came looking for a lost Apple Watch, if anyone finds one let me know

We entered at the north entrance. Most of the trail is easy, but the northern section gets difficult in sections with larger drop offs and climbes. The views from the top are worth the effort though. There is an old wood cabin and some rock formations for kids to play in and around. The trail to the arch is simple and a must for the trip.

This may be a 8/10 rating for an atv or sxs, but it is a 2wd trail for a purpose built rock crawler. We didn’t come across anything that could’ve been an issue.
