Smelter Knolls Powerline Trail

Trail Overview

This trail travels across the desert landscape, following the powerlines traveling across the open flats. This trail is mostly straight with few turns and it may be tempting to travel at a higher speed, but you must be extremely careful as there are washouts and potholes at points in the road that are near impossible to notice until you are at them which by that point it may be too late to stop if you are going too fast, as well as the trail being only one vehicle wide. This trail is open year-round but may be impassable during wetter periods due to it traveling across mud flats that, when wet, will be impassable.
