The fourwheeling part of the trail is on Mineral Point, part of the mesa country between the long, deep gashes of Mineral and Hellroaring Canyons. These side canyons drain into Labyrinth Canyon of the Green River. The headwaters of these and many other canyons around here are shallow, normally dry drainages that suddenly plunge over rimrock into deep canyons. There are a little more than 20 miles of paved road to the trail start on the Dead Horse Point Road. This is a pleasant, scenic family trail that was down-rated from 3Y2 this year, but we can't assure that a stock vehicle will get throughwithout a "thunk" of metal on rock. Approximate mileages: 80 total, 37 off highway. |
