Shepherd Road

This out-and-back trail just north of Little Sahara starts in the barren desert and goes into an area much more dense with trees and brush, ending up near Maple Peak in the West Tintic Mountains. The road is recently graded and somewhat maintained; much of the surface is dirt, so it could get slick and muddy after rain. There are many spur trails off of this road, especially dirt bike trails, and it looks as though this trail continues on as a dirt bike trail at the northern end. The spur trails lead to various camp sites and scenic views of the Little Sahara area. A new development has been started at the end of this road, which has a gate and is marked as no trespassing.
