The road to Swasey Cabin is accessible by most vehicles, and provides a great spot for hiking. From the cabin, hike the road a little further to The Ice Box. Hop on your ATV or UTV and enjoy the winding road to Eagle Canyon Arch. There is an opportunity to see Native American art. Spend the day exploring the abundance of side roads.

Difficulty

Moderate. Narrow and rocky in places with one challenging steep spot on the north side of the freeway. Stock SUVs should have high clearance and skid plates. Lockers also beneficial.

History
