From the main Paiute Trail there are numerous side trips leading to spectacular scenery, fishing opportunities, or into surrounding towns for supplies, lodging, or fuel. Combined, there are over 700 miles of open roads and trails available for ATV's. Monroe Mountain features a mix of large meadows, aspen, and spruce forest that is unsurpassed for fall colors. A magnificent trophy elk herd is also found on the mountain. Tushar Mountains, the remains of an ancient volcano, rise above timberline to 12,000 feet.
Mountain goats live on the rocky crags.
The trail runs through the Kimberley ghost town where 3,000 gold miners worked the hills around the turn of the century. The Paiute Trail marker is taken from a pictograph discovered in a local canyon of the Sevier Valley. Pictographs, which are painted on rock, and petroglyphs, etched in rock, are common in the area from the prehistoric occupants of this region.
