anti-La Sal National Forest

T he deep sandstone canyons, mountaintops, meadows, lakes 

and streams of the Manti-La Sal National Forest have 

beckoned people for ages. Evidence of prehistoric and historic 

life is found throughout the four islands of the forest. From 

the Abajos and La Sals in southeastern Utah to the Wasatch 

Plateau and Sanpitch Mountains hundreds of miles away in 

central Utah, the diverse and scenic landscapes are rich with 

fossils, cliff dwellings, historic waterways, and old mines.

Today the forest offers people 

a retreat from the hurry of 

modern life. Those who seek solitude and 

quiet can find it here. Intrepid adventurers 

will discover mountains to scale, trails to 

explore, waters to fish, and woods where 

they can hunt. Scenic byways and backways 

summon motorists looking for stunning vistas, 

and abundant camping areas are perfect for 

creating family traditions.

This Visitor Guide provides the information you need to make the most of 

your Manti-La Sal National Forest experience.

Protecting Our Past 

For Our Future

When you visit an 

archaeological site, 

remember that you are 

visiting someone’s home. Be careful where you 

walk and sit, and leave objects where you find 

them. Prehistoric and historic sites and artifacts 

are irreplaceable resources that provide clues 

and understanding into our collective heritage. It 

is illegal to damage sites or to remove artifacts. 

When visiting theses sites: 

Do ~ 

* Use designated trails or walk on slickrock

* Leave all artifacts in place

* Take photos or sketch rock art

* View structures from a distance

* Let others enjoy the thrill of discovery

Don’t ~

* Create new trails or paths

* Gather artifacts into piles or take them home

* Touch or leave marks on rock art (the oil in your 

fingers may damage the fragile art) 

* Sit or walk on walls, or enter structures

* Reveal site locations on websites or give out GPS 

coordinates 

T he mountain and desert landscapes of the Manti-La 

Sal National Forest hold secrets of the people who came 

before, containing over 5,000 known archaeological 

sites that date between 10,000 years ago and the mid1900s. These places offer windows into the vibrant 

and complex communities that thrived in the rugged 

landscapes of the forest. During much of this era, people 

made their living entirely from 

the resources of the land. They 

also had wide social networks 

and depended on each other for 

trade goods and information 

about the world around them.

Between 

about 1,500 

and 700 years 

ago, farming 

became part of 

the life-ways 

of these ancient people. Ancestral Puebloan (Ansazi) 

people established extensive networks of villages 

on what are now national forest lands southwest of 

Monticello. This area contains the densest number of 

archaeological sites on national forests in Utah, and tells 

a story of ever-changing adaptations to shifting climate 

and social conditions.

Further north, Fremont farmers used the Wasatch 

Plateau and Sanpitch Mountains as critical sources 

of plants and animals. They also took advantage of 

abundant chert (rock) on the Wasatch Plateau to make 

spear points, knives, and other stone tools. 

But millions of years before these ancient civilizations, 

these lands were home to such animals as crocodiles 

and apes. The only evidence of Tyrannosaurus rex in 

Utah came from the Manti-La Sal National Forest. 

More recently, mastodons, short-faced bear, and 

camels also lived here. 

Construction workers at the 

Huntington Dam along the HuntingtonEccles Canyons National Scenic Byway 

made an unparalleled discovery in 1988—the 

nearly complete remains of a mammoth that 

lived about 9,500 years ago. It may represent 

one of the last of its species, before climate 

change caused mammoths to disappear. 

You can view a cast of its skeleton at 

the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric 

Museum in Price, or at the Fairview 

Museum of History and Art.

Both the Manti and La Sal National 

Forests were created at the request of local 

communities who depended on the forests 

for livestock forage, lumber, minerals, and 

water. At the turn of the century, water 

sometimes came in the form of catastrophic 

summer floods that tore through towns below the forests. 

Communities recognized that overgrazing was causing 

soil erosion and subsequent flooding, and that thoughtful 

management was needed to ensure continued resource use. 

Sanpete Valley citizens 

sent a petition to 

President Theodore 

Roosevelt in 1903 

resulting in the creation 

of the Manti Forest 

Reserve. Citizens in 

Grand and San Juan 

counties made similar 

requests and the La 

Sal Forest Reserve was 

created in 1906-1907.

The vast resources of the Manti-La Sal National Forest belong to all Americans. These resources must rely 

on the stewardship of all of us if they are to be sustained for our future generations.

In the early 1900s, there was no scientific data to help 

forest managers understand how to best protect soil 

and plant resources while still providing for livestock 

grazing. As a result, one of the first and longestrunning watershed research areas in the US was 

created in Ephraim Canyon in 1912. Headquartered 

at the Great Basin Experimental Station, research was 

used to guide range science and livestock grazing 

programs all over the world. 

Between 1939 and 1941, the forest and nearby 

communities hosted several Civilian Conservation 

Corps camps that made significant improvements 

to the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The men built 

campgrounds, roads, trails, dam and feeder canals, and 

guard stations. They fought fires, rescued stranded 

livestock, planted trees, and 

made life-long memories. 

Nearly 5,000 men worked 

in these camps. They came 

from local communities, 

as well as places as far 

away as New Jersey and 

Mississippi.

One of the most important uses of 

the Wasatch Plateau has been coal mining, beginning 

in the late 1800s. Today, mines on the forest contribute 

about 85% of the coal produced in the state. In 

southeastern Utah, uranium mining boomed during 

the 1940-1970s, and Moab was known as the uranium 

capitol of the world. Ore was extracted from both the La 

Sal and Abajo Mountains.

The Manti and La Sal Forests were combined in 1949 for 

more efficient management. Such change did not come 

easily for the communities or forest managers. In order 

to make a stressful situation easier, managers held a mock 

shotgun wedding 

in Joes Valley in 

1950. The Ranger 

from Moab was 

bride; the Ranger 

from Ephraim was 

the groom; and a 

Monticello resident 

held the shotgun. 

Wilderness

Dark Canyon Wilderness

Wilderness is an area designated by Congress to preserve 

natural communities from the expanding imprint of 

human development. In Wilderness, natural forces and 

conditions dominate the landscape, and the area is 

managed to retain its primeval character and influence, 

while providing opportunities for primitive recreation 

and solitude.

Dark Canyon Wilderness is just 

such a place. Arches, old-growth 

ponderosa pine, aspen groves, 

meadows, hanging gardens, 

and high country deserts are 

all found here. This remote 

section of the Colorado Plateau 

is a place where visitors are 

dwarfed by the sculpted and 

terraced sandstone walls. 

Look closely—you may spot 

evidence of the Ancestral 

Puebloan structures and 

rock art tucked along the cliffs. (Please leave these 

treasures undisturbed for others to experience.) Water is 

scarce—check with local Forest Service offices for current 

availability. For more information about the Dark Canyon 

Wilderness, visit www.wilderness.net

Elk Ridge State Scenic Backway

Elk Ridge Road seems to be 

on top of the world. From here, 

travelers see stunning views of 

Monument Valley, Canyonlands 

National Park, and scenery nearly 

200 miles in the distance. 

Start the Elk Ridge Road at the 

junctions of State Route (SR) 95 

and SR-275, west of Blanding. 

After 1 mile, turn onto FR-088. 

The backway follows the Elk Ridge 

spine at nearly 9,000 feet (often as a single lane) with 

panoramic views of red rock canyons and Canyonlands 

National Park. The backway ends at SR-211. 

Most of the route requires high-clearance vehicles 

and is passable only in the summer months.

The Energy Loop: Huntington & Eccles 

Canyons National Scenic Byway

Whatever the season, 

the views are breathtaking on the 

Huntington and Eccles Canyons 

National Scenic Byway. 

The route is rich with the history of mining in Utah’s coal 

country, with views of a coal-fired power plant and an 

operating mine along the way. The Scofield Cemetery is 

witness to a mining disaster that killed hundreds of men 

and boys in 1900. The recovery site of the 9,500 year-old 

mammoth skeleton is interpreted just off the road near 

Huntington Reservoir. Other visitor signs identify the 

unique geology and ecology of the area.

Outstanding 

recreation 

opportunities 

abound. There are 

campgrounds, blue 

ribbon fisheries, 

and six reservoirs 

for fishing and 

Abajo Loop State Scenic Backway

The Abajo Loop leads 

from the desert floor 

and red rock canyons 

to steep mountains 

over 11,000 feet high, 

with overlooks and 

panoramic views. The 

byway travels Forest Road (FR) 105 west from 

Monticello to the junction of FR-079 where it heads 

south through North Canyon, northwest of the 

shadow of Horsehead Peak. When you conclude 

your tour in Blanding, visit the Edge of the Cedars 

Museum where you’ll see numerous artifacts found 

on the forest.

Although suitable for passenger vehicles during 

late spring through fall, this route is not 

recommended for large RVs or trailers.

Scenic Byways & Backways

Length: 85 mi./136 km.

Time to Allow: 4 hours

The Manti-La Sal National Forest has numerous byways and backways threading dramatic landscapes. Byways are major 

roads suitable for passenger cars. Backways are lower-standard roads often requiring high-clearance vehicles and/or fourwheel drive. Ask locally for road conditions before you begin. 

Length: 87 mi./139 km.

Time to Allow: 4-5 hours

Stuart Guard Station

The boys of the Civilian 

Conservation Corps (CCC) 

built the Stuart Guard 

Station in Huntington 

Canyon during the 1930s 

Depression. The station now houses 

artifacts from that era that tell the story of how these 

young men built improvements throughout the forest to 

earn money for their families at home. Restored as an 

historic interpretive site, the Stuart Guard Station also 

tells the story of the national forest and its beginnings 

over 100 years ago. A host can show you through the 

station on weekends and holidays in the summer. 

Length: 35 mi./56 km.

Time to Allow: 2 hours

boating. There are hiking, biking and ATV trails along 

the route and it’s a favorite place for an assortment of 

winter sports. 

This paved road traverses state routes (SR) 31, 264, and 

96 and can be accessed off SR-10 in Huntington, off 

SR-6 at Colton, and off SR-89 in Fairview. Check road 

conditions before traveling in winter.

Harts Draw Highway

The Harts Draw Highway travels 

across the northwestern flank of 

the Abajo Mountains between Monticello and SR-211 near 

Newspaper Rock. The Harts Draw-Canyonlands Overlook 

is about 10 miles from 

Monticello, with vistas of 

the La Sal Mountains, Shay 

Mountain, and the Needles 

District of Canyonlands 

National Park. In autumn, 

aspens and maples are 

blazing flags along the drive. 

Once you reach SR-211, 

you can take a short side 

trip to the Newspaper Rock 

petroglyph panel. 

La Sal Mountain Loop 

State Scenic Backway

From alpine ridges of the La Sal Mountains to the red 

rock desert and sandstone pinnacles of Castle Rock, this 

backway is an adventure! You will see mesas and buttes 

used in movies and drive past steep laccolithic peaks that 

often serve as the backdrop in photographs of the famed 

Delicate Arch. The route is mostly paved and starts 6 

miles south of Moab from US-191 to SR-128. Although 

suitable for passenger vehicles, it is not recommended for large 

RVs or trailers. 

Ferron-Mayfield State Scenic Backway

Winding up 12-Mile Canyon 

from Mayfield, this backway 

begins and ends in pinyonjuniper country, but climbs to well over 10,000 feet while 

passing through stands of aspen 

and conifer. Angler destinations 

such as Town Reservoir, Ferron 

Reservoir, and Willow Lake are 

all located along this route. This 

gravel route is accessible to passenger 

cars during the summer and fall, 

then becomes a snowmobiler’s haven 

during the winter.

Skyline Drive State Scenic Backway

This drive is two distinct 

backway experiences; 

combined they also form 

a portion of the Great 

Western Trail. 

North Skyline Drive, a gravel road, climbs to the 

Wasatch Plateau from US-6 and undulates south for 27 

miles to SR-31. This section provides scenic views into 

Lake Fork and Fish Creek drainages and access to prime 

fall hunting areas. It is also a groomed snowmobile trail 

during the winter. The road is suitable for passenger cars, 

but is closed in the winter.

Your journey begins on SR-31 

and continues 55 miles south 

to the Fishlake National Forest 

boundary (I-70 is another 16 

miles). Stunning views of Mt. 

Nebo and other mountains are on constant display, 

complimented by vivid wildflower displays in mid to 

late summer. This route also serves as the backbone of 

the Arapeen OHV trail system with numerous routes 

dropping off the Skyline to the valleys below. Elevations 

approach 11,000 feet and the road is difficult to access 

until late July as large snowdrifts slowly melt—but this 

trip is worth the wait. The majority of South Skyline Drive 

requires high clearance 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Length: 48 mi./77 km.

Time to Allow: 3-4 hours

Length: 50 mi./80 km.

Time to Allow: 2-3 hours

Ephraim to Orangeville Road

The Ephraim Canyon 

Heritage Tour segment 

is a 15-mile drive from 

Ephraim to the summit 

of the Wasatch Plateau, a 

climb of 5,000 feet. Along 

the way, travelers can stop 

at six different interpretive displays that describe the 

natural and cultural heritage of the area, including the 

Civilian Conservation Corps work.

The Skyline Drive to Joes Valley and Orangeville segment 

accesses the favorite fishing holes and camping areas 

of Pete’s Hole, Grassy Lake, Soup Bowl, and Joes Valley 

Reservoir. It is not suitable for low-clearance vehicles, 

and is closed in the winter. Historic Seely Guard Station, 

built in 1908, is along this road and is available for 

overnight rental.

Length: 47 mi./74.5 km.

Time to Allow: 2-3 hours

Length: 18 mi./29 km.

Great Basin 

Environmental Education Center

Opened in 1912 as the 

Utah Experiment Station, 

researchers were sent to 

this site in Ephraim Canyon 

to find the causes of, and 

remedies for, summer floods 

that were ravaging the 

communities in the valley 

below. They built a beautiful 

complex where they lived 

and worked. Some of the world’s most important range 

research occured here, and continues in the area now 

known as the Great Basin Experimental Range. However, 

researchers no longer live at the facility.

Now the station has been given a new life and purpose. In 

1992, Snow College and its partners restored the buildings 

and began to operate the compound as an environmental 

education center. The center is open weekdays from late 

June to mid-August, and visitors are welcome to tour the 

museum and buildings. Summer workshops are also held. 

For more information, visit www.snow.edu/gbeec/.

Before venturing on to the Manti-La Sal National 

Forest, please pick up a map with the level of detail

Dispersed Camping

Many people enjoy the solitude and primitive experience 

of camping away from developed campgrounds. 

Dispersed camping means there are no toilets, tables, 

or treated water. Follow these 

guidelines to ensure that these 

areas can be enjoyed by future 

generations.

* Choose sites that are already established

* Camp within 150’ of a Forest Service road

* Don’t dig ditches around tents or trailers

* Dispose of human waste properly (200’ 

from water, in an 8” deep hole)

* Pack out all garbage

* Do not carve or chop into tree trunks— 

this can eventually kill the tree

Campfires

* Check at the local Ranger Station 

for current fire restrictions. 

Remember, they can change on a 

daily basis. Use existing fire rings 

and don’t burn metal, glass, plastic, 

or food scraps 

* Keep your fires small and bring 

your own firewood. If you have 

to collect firewood at your 

campsite, collect dead and 

down wood only. 

* To put out a campfire, slowly pour water onto the fire and 

stir with a shovel. Continue adding and stirring until all 

material is cool to touch. 

* Do not bury your fire. The coals can smolder and re-ignite. 

* NEVER leave a fire unattended, even if there are no flames. 

Many wildfires have been caused by abandoned campfires.

Trails (non-motorized)

From short day hikes to weeklong treks, the Manti–La Sal offers hundreds of miles of hiking, biking, and backpacking 

opportunities. The following are just a few of our highlights:

Trail Name Miles 

(1-way) Location Highlights

Moab & Monticello Districts

The Whole Enchilada 

(Burro Pass to the 

Colorado River) 

26.2

Take the Geyser Pass Road from the 

loop road to Geyser Pass. Follow signs 

to the Burro Pass Trailhead. 

This is a premier but difficult single track mountain bike trail. Located in the La 

Sal mountains, it crosses Burro Pass, follows the Hazard County Trail and merges 

with the Kokopelli trail, then down the edge of the Procupine Rim, eventually 

ending at the Colorado River. Shorter portions are suitable for moderate hiking.

South Mountain 8.9

The trail starts on the east side of the 

La Sal Pass Road (FR-073) and ends 

on the west side of the La Sal Pass 

Road, across from the Squaw Springs 

Trail. 

Beautiful but arduous, this horseback and hiking trail circumnavigates South 

Mountain. The trail is the southern part of the Trans La Sal Trail, which traverses 

across the entire west face of the La Sal mountain range. Hikers will be rewarded 

with views of the San Juan, Abajo and Henry ranges while climbing through aspen 

and spruce/fir forests. 

Horse Pasture 

Wilderness Trail 4.1

The trailhead is located south and 

west of the Gooseberry Guard 

Station. Take FR-5178 (located across 

from Duck Lake) to the trailhead. 

This is a beautiful day hike that captures the essence of the Dark Canyon 

Wilderness; hikers or horseback riders will enjoy spectacular vistas. The trail ends 

at the Scorup Cabin historic site. Bring plenty of water for this excursion—it is 

moderately difficult and the climb out is steep.

Peavine/

Woodenshoe 

Wilderness Loop

36- 

mile 

loop

From Blanding, take SR-95 toward 

Natural Bridges National Monument, 

then take a right turn through the 

Bear’s Ears. Go left on FR-5108 for 

both the Peavine and Woodenshoe 

Trailheads.

This loop is a difficult multi-day hike in the rugged Dark Canyon Wilderness 

through canyons where route-finding is necessary. Recommended for the spring 

or fall, this loop encompasses the entire Wilderness. Water is scarce, planning 

paramount, and the rewards are great! These canyons were inhabited by the 

Ancestral Puebloans and evidence of their culture can be found in numerous 

places along the route. 

Tuerto Canyon 6.5

The best access to this trail is from 

Blanding. Follow the road toward 

Nizhoni Campground, but take a left 

on FR-5095 just before it. 

The Tuerto Canyon Trail is designated for hiking and horseback riding. Starting 

just east of the Causeway on FR-5095, it terminates along Shay Ridge in the 

northern part of the Abajo Mountains. There are numerous possibilities to create 

small, medium, or long loops. The trail winds through a unique landscape and 

into quiet places seldom visited. Good route finding skills are a must along this 

arduous route. 

Sanpete & Ferron-Price Districts

Fish Creek National 

Recreation Trail 

#130

10

Travel west on FR-0123 to Fish Creek 

NRT Trailhead and campground. Ends 

at North Skyline Drive (FR-0150).

Moderately difficult, this trail is open to foot, horse, and bicycle use. Cross-country 

skiing possible in winter months with adequate snow. The trail parallels Fish 

Creek through open sagebrush, and provides access to some of the best stream 

fishing on the plateau.

Castle Valley Ridge 

Trail System 21 Access from Nuck Woodward Road 

(FR-0110)

This system consists of five trails of varying difficulty: Second Water Canyon (4 

miles), Castle Valley Ridge (9 miles), Short Canyon (2 miles), Sawmill Canyon 

(4 miles) and Corner Canyon (2 miles). Although best travelled by foot or horse, 

bicycle use is possible on Castle Valley Ridge where you’ll have sweeping views of 

the valley 3,000 feet below. The trail is not accessible during winter. 

Left Fork of 

Huntington #131 6

Begins 4 miles south of SR-31 on 

Miller Flat Road (FR-0014). Ends at 

Forks of Huntington Campground 

along SR-31.

Only hikers and horses are allowed on this moderately difficult trail. In the winter, 

cross-country skiing is possible with adequate snow cover. The trail is a very 

scenic route along Left Fork drainage that provides access to premier fly-fishing 

opportunities. 

Black Canyon #087 4 Begins 5 miles north of Joes Valley 

Reservoir via FR-0038.

Highlights of this trail include panoramic vistas of Joes Valley Reservoir, and 

Middle and Trail Mountains. Black Canyon is a hiking and horse trail between the 

Lowry Water Road (FR-0038) north of Joes Valley and South Skyline Drive (FR0150). It is moderately difficult.

Canal Canyon Trail 

System 18

Access Canal Canyon Trail about 4 

miles southeast of Spring City. This 

canyon provides access to trails in the 

Big and Little Horseshoe area.

This trail system is open to all non-motorized uses, but foot and horse travel is 

most common due to steep grades. Trails reach into high glacial cirques that form 

Big and Little Horseshoes. Mid-summer wildflower displays are stunning.

Maple Canyon Trail 

System 5 All trails begin at Maple Canyon Campground.

Three steep scenic loop trails (3 to 5-mile loops) provide access to many of the 

rock climbing sites in the canyon. Panoramic views east into Sanpete Valley and 

beyond to the Wasatch Plateau reveal themselves as you near the top.

Activities
13

Climbing & Bouldering

Climbers have a plethora of options on the forest. 

Joes Valley is a nationally recognized climbing area of 

sandstone boulders that offers hundreds of routes for the 

novice to expert climber and boulder athlete. Check out 

routes such as Left Fork, Riverside, the Angler, Smoking 

Joe, Sole Food, Fingerhut, Black Lung, or New Joes to find a 

climb that matches your abilities. Joes Valley is located just 

west of Orangeville, Utah on SR-29. 

The La Sals are the second highest range in Utah and 

many of its highest peaks make challenging goals for 

peak baggers. Mount Wass, Mount Peale, Tukinikivatz, 

Mellenthin, and Manns Peaks all exceed 12,000 feet in 

elevation. These are challenging climbs with unmaintained 

routes that involve substantial scrambling over loose talus 

fields—but will reward you 

with amazing views. Low Impact Climbing

* Use colored chalk that blends 

with the rocks

* Use natural toned webbing, 

bolts, and hangers in case 

removal is impossible

* Use existing routes

* Do not trample native 

vegetation or disturb nesting 

birds

* Use slings—not pulley ropes 

attached to trees—for 

rappelling anchor points 

Mountain Biking

Mountain biking is a great way to enjoy trails on the 

Manti-La Sal National Forest. Popular trails in the La 

Sals include: West Fork Mill Creek, Hazard County, and 

the Upper Porcupine Singletrack Trails (which can be 

combined with trails on adjacent BLM lands for longer 

rides beginning in alpine environments and ending up 

on the banks of the Colorado River). A portion of the 

Kokopelli Trail—connecting Fruita, Colorado to Moab, 

Utah—also crosses the forest.

The Abajo Mountains have outstanding single track 

mountain biking on the Aspen Flat, Red Ledges, and 

Robertson Pasture Trails.

Off Highway Vehicles (OHVs)

On the Manti-La Sal National Forest, there 

are hundreds of miles of roads available to 

four-wheel enthusiasts, and over 1,000 miles 

for ATV-ers. 

The largest 

concentration of 

use on the Wasatch 

Plateau is the 350-

mile Arapeen OHV 

Trail System—a 

great family trail 

with plenty of 

advanced sections for 

experienced riders. 

From the Sanpete 

Valley, there are several major canyons to explore 

near the towns of Fairview, Ephraim, and Manti.

You can ride up one canyon, travel along the rugged 

backbone of the “Skyline,” and come down another. 

Try the Shay Ridge and Wagon Wheel Trails in the 

Abajos, or the Two-Mile Trail in the La Sals. On the 

Monticello District, roads and motorized trails have 

been signed on the Abajo Mountain OHV trail system, 

providing numerous long loop rides in varying terrain.

Ride Responsibly

* Pay attention to the trail and road signs posted along 

routes that indicate what type of use is allowed

* Take along a Motor Vehicle Use Map, available at Forest 

Service Offices. You can also pick up an Arapeen OHV 

Trail Systems map.

* Cross-country use of motorized vehicles is prohibited 

because it damages vegetation, causes erosion, and adds 

sediment to streams

* Be familiar with Utah State laws and have the appropriate 

license and/or OHV education certificate

* Wear your helmet!

Horseback Riding

Horses have been used to 

navigate the backcountry of 

the Manti-La Sal National 

Forest for hundreds of years; 

today there are outstanding 

opportunities for both short 

trail rides and extended pack 

trips. Some of the best trails 

are the South Mountain, 

Aspen Flat, and Horse Pasture 

on the Moab/Monticello 

District. Several routes that 

provide for week long pack trips can be found in the 

Dark Canyon Wilderness. Check the non-motorized 

trails table for the many trails suitable for horses on the 

Wasatch Plateau. Remember to check local water conditions 

before heading out into arid canyon country.

Winter Recreation 

Snowmobiling

Popular snowmobiling areas include:

* Skyline Drive Trail - 27 groomed miles along the summit of the 

Wasatch Plateau, from the top of Fairview Canyon to US-6

* Miller’s Flat Trail - 21 groomed miles from Miller’s Flat parking 

lot east of Huntington/Mammoth Reservoir along SR-31 to 

Joes Valley

* Ephraim/Manti/Mayfield Trails - 27 groomed miles of uncrowded 

trails up Ephraim, Manti, and Mayfield Canyons to open summits 

* Geyser Pass and Harts Draw Roads provide excellent 

opportunities on the southern portion of the forest 

Grooming is subject to Utah State Parks and Recreation 

scheduling and funding.

Backcountry Skiing

Excellent backcountry skiing 

and snowboarding terrain on the 

forest include the top of Fairview 

Canyon on the Wasatch Plateau 

and the Gold Basin Area in the 

La Sal Mountains. Terrain varies 

from mellow meadow and glade 

skiing to steep alpine descents.

Cross-country Skiing and Snowshoeing

Starting at Geyser Pass Winter 

Trailhead to the end of the Gold Basin 

Road and up to Geyser Pass you can 

traverse on approximately 12 miles 

of groomed cross-country ski trails. 

These trails are open to both skiers 

and snowmobiles. 

Winter on Skyline Ridge

Just east of the summit on SR-31, 

winter enthusiasts can find deep 

snow, open slopes, and steady winds. 

Parking at the “Big Drift” provides a 

staging point not only for premier 

snowkiting, but for snowmobilers 

and cross-country skiers. Boulger 

Canyon east of “Big Drift” is a nonmotorized winter use area and can 

also be reached from SR-264 near 

Boulger Reservoir. A “Beacon Basin” 

is provided at Big Drift where 

backcountry users can practice 

avalanche rescue skills.

For more fishing information:

Visit the Utah Division of 

Wildlife Resources:

www.wildlife.utah.gov/fishing/

Hunting

Many game species live on the forest including elk, mule 

deer, and black bear. A statewide record bull elk was 

harvested off the forest in 2004, and deer records have 

been impressive as well. 

Turkey and grouse are 

popular sport birds. 

Hunters: Please remember 

that you cannot use 

motorized vehicles off 

designated roads and 

trails, either to travel or to 

retrieve game.

Fishing

The Manti-La Sal 

National Forest has 

over 1,600 miles of 

perennial streams and 

8,100 surface acres of 

lakes and reservoirs. 

Popular spots in the 

northern sections 

of the forest include: Duck Fork, Electric Lake, Ferron, 

Joes Valley, Petes Hole Reservoirs and Potters Pond, 

Lake Hill, and Willow Lake. These waters host rainbow, 

brook, cutthroat, and tiger trout, and even splake and 

tiger muskies. 

The Right and Left Forks of Huntington Creek—along 

with the main Huntington Creek—are Blue Ribbon 

fisheries. Upper Huntington Creek is a favorite for fly 

fishing. Straight Canyon provides great 

brown trout habitat with several deep 

pools for anglers. Native cutthroat trout 

are found in Tie Fork, Gentry Hollow, and 

Scad Valley Creek.

The hot spots on the south area of the 

forest include Warner Lake, Oowah 

Lake and Buckeye 

Reservoir. You 

can fish for 

rainbow trout in 

all of these lakes, 

plus cutthroat 

at Buckeye.

Winter fun on the Manti-La Sal National Forest 

can be as dangerous as it is exhilarating. Information 

on current weather and avalanche conditions for the Skyline 

area, the La Sals, and Abajos can be found at the Utah 

Avalanche Center website at utahavalanchecenter.org or at 

888-999-4019. More information for the La Sals and Abajos 

is at 435-259-SNOW.

Know Before You Go

Wildlife

Help keep wildlife “wild” by 

following these tips: 

* Do not feed wildlife—give them their 

space. Use those binoculars!

* Keep your dog leashed to protect both him 

and wildlife.

* Avoid approaching big game during winter—

their food supplies are low and exertion 

takes a toll.

* If you find an “orphaned” or 

sick animal, leave it alone. 

Often the parents are close 

by and are waiting for you 

to leave.

* Leave the area if an animal shows signs of alarm. Watch and 

listen for raised ears, skittish movements, or alarm calls.

Noxious Weeds

Noxious weeds can rapidly displace native 

plant species that provide habitat for 

wildlife and food for people and livestock. 

Here’s how you can help reduce their 

spread:

* Learn to recognize common weed species.

* Don’t camp or drive in weed infested areas. 

* Don’t pick the flowers of noxious weeds and 

take them home—you’ll spread seeds.

* When using pack animals, carry only feed 

that is certified weed-free. Within 96 hours 

before entering backcountry areas, feed them 

only weed-free food.

* Wash your vehicle, including the 

undercarriage, to remove any weed seed 

before driving to the forest.

For more information, visit the Utah Weed 

Control Association at www.utahweed.org/. For more information, visit www.BeBearAware.org

Be Bear Aware!

Seeing a black bear is a memorable experience. If 

you want that experience to be positive rather than 

negative, follow these tips:

• Keep a clean campsite. Store food and garbage in 

closed vehicles and out of sight.

• Never put food scraps in the campfire—it attracts bears 

and skunks. 

• Don’t keep food, shampoo—or anything that smells—in 

tents or sleeping areas.

• Store stoves and Dutch ovens in a vehicle or secure 

place when not using. 

• When camping in the backcountry, hang food and garbage from a tree limb at least 10 feet from the ground 

and 5 feet from the tree trunk. This tree should be at 

least 100 yards from your sleeping area. 

• Some bears also target motor oil, insect repellant, 

liquor, and other things that look like food. Put these 

items away. 

If bears become accustomed to human food, they may 

become aggressive towards humans or cause property 

damage. To protect people, these bears 

may have to be destroyed.

What’s that Smoke?

Throughout time, fires have burned in our forests. The 

elimination of natural fire from the ecosystem has 

created an imbalance, resulting in forests that are more 

prone to disease and insect infestation, as well as large 

wildfires, especially during periods of drought.

Managing fire for resource benefits is a program which 

provides for naturally ignited wildland fires to burn in 

a natural state under specific, pre-established guidelines. 

Fires managed in this way are most often located in 

remote areas where they can burn naturally without 

endangering human life and property.
