Trail Overview
Riverbottom Road-JC8122802 is a 12.1-mile point-to-point trail rated 1 of 10 in Juab County. This is a county-maintained road that can generally be traveled by any 2 or 4WD vehicle with sufficient ground clearance. The road extends from Weiss Highway in the south to the county line where the road becomes Tooele County Old River Bed Road. Running along the eastern side of the Keg Mountains, the road provides access to BLM grazing lands as well as several land cooperatives along the east side of the road. Keg Mountain at nearly 7,300 feet of elevation is a popular destination for hikers in the spring and fall. Most avoid the area in the summer due to the high temperatures of the Utah basin and the Sevier Desert. Multiple trails extend to the west from Riverbottom Road which leads to various approaches to Keg Mountain. This is a very remote and desolate area; once off the main trail, it is unlikely that travelers will encounter anything other than wildlife in this area. The nearest services are located in Delta to the south and Eagle Mountain to the east.
