Dairy Canyon to Flat Canyon: N38 45’ 39.57” W112 06’ 13.24” This is a local favorite. This trail starts at the sawdust pits and begins by climbing a rocky backbone ridge and then goes along the south rim of Dairy Canyon. There are several ledges, hill climbs, and off camber sections. Then the trail drops into the canyon bottom. There are some rock ledges you can either go around or drop off of. Then there is the gate keeper, a large rock on the passenger side of your vehicle. If you have enough lift or are fullsize, you can go over the rock. The other choice is that you go high and to the left and then turn back in just before hitting the tree. The rest of the canyon if filled with more twists and turns filled with rocks. You then begin the hill climb out of the canyon. Follow the ridge line and then come to a stop at the top of the ridge.

You will ease down the ridge and drop into the canyon bottom by going down the yellow sandstone ledge. The trail then goes along lost creek to where it meets up with trail 053. This trail takes us to the Broadhead Lakes turnoff. At this point you may need to put it in 4 wheel drive due to washed out road conditions and the steepness of the trail. The trail goes through some meadows and one water crossing at Broadhead lakes. The trail goes through a second meadow and at the far end of the meadow is where the fun begins.

The trail will start on some private property and then climbs quickly through pinon pine and several rocky sections. Then to the Clay Hill, you will want to make sure you don’t get too close to the edge, it’s a long ways to the bottom. It’s not that bad, but just the way it looks will cause your knuckles to turn white. The trail is rough in some sections, a locker will help, but is not required. 33 inch tires are required. Do not be afraid of getting close to the trees.
Multi-Cache: All right you GPS aficionados, this is the one for you. For once you will be the trail guide, a list of 10 geocaches from all over the Sevier valley will be provided for you before you leave the fair grounds. The caches will vary from easy to difficult, and that isn’t talking about the terrain. The terrain will vary from 2 wheel drive to needing lockers and lift to get to them. If you have any questions or need help with your GPS, make sure you get with the trail master to help you out.
Crazy “8”: N38 46’ 30.67” W112 05’ 47.07” This trail is for the extremists, or the people who live by the creed “If you’re not living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space.” This is the trail for the hardcore rigs. The trail group will leave from the fair grounds and go north on main street to 300 North and then go West. The trail will be guided by Shawn Winn, who has competed in UROC competitions. This trail will follow the CCC road over into Little Valley where the fun begins. This trail is less than ½ mile long of the rough stuff. The trail crosses in and out of itself going up and over ledges, down water falls and general just having hardcore fun. The last obstacle may require a winch if you don’t want body and rock to get together. MANDATORY: FRONT AND REAR LOCKERS, 35” TIRES OR BIGGER. A WINCH IS SUGGESTED. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MANDATORY ITEMS YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO WATCH!!
I don't know if I should bring the Wrangler and do an easy scenic trail or the Cruiser and do one that's a little more gnarly?
