Trail Overview
Round The Bend is a short, easy 0.8-mile connector trail on Stansbury Island that links Stansbury Gulch and Tabby's Canyon. The route winds along the hillside, offering panoramic views of the Great Salt Lake and active salt mining operations below.
The dirt and gravel trail is suitable for stock high-clearance four-wheel-drive vehicles, OHVs, and dirt bikes. A brief ravine crossing near the eastern end requires basic tire placement, and the western terminus ends near a popular quarry and shooting area.
Difficulty
This easy trail around the hillside connects Stansbury Gulch and Tabby's Canyon. Nothing of major difficulty to note except for where the trail dips down and up a ravine on the beginning of the East side. The west end of the trail is at a quarry / shooting area. Great views overlooking the Salt Lake and the salt mining production going on out there. Please remember to pack out any shooting materials used. Sadly a lot of garbage was noted in the area.
Access Description
This route is located on public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). There are no access fees or permits required to drive on Stansbury Island. Visitors must pack out all trash, targets, and spent ammunition casings, as the quarry and shooting areas are heavily impacted by litter. Respect any posted signs regarding active quarry operations or private property boundaries.
