Trails
Milt's Mile: Rated a 3 1/2 and has bypasses.
This trail starts near Sand Hollow State Park in Hurricane and ends in the middle part of the sand dunes. This is one of the shorter trails and can take about 4 hrs depending on group size. So with this trail there will be a sweet sand dune run included. This is a fun yet challenging trail it has some washes and off camber climbs as well as very nice views of the area.
Slip Lock: Rated a 4 and has bypasses.
This trail is a challenging wash with waterfalls and undercuts with soft sand and ledges. Challenging for most vehicles but definitely a fun trail. This trail also ends and begins with some sand. At the beginning of Slip Lock there with be a fun warm up run over one of the many fault lines in the area with some off camber and real steep climbs and down grades. There are some spots for wheel lift and a testing of your suspension travel.
West Rim Trail: Rated a 3
This is a more scenic yet fun and challenging trail that most stock vehicles can do, depending on the driver. This trail is along the edge of the Cliffs overlooking St George and surrounding areas. This trail passes through a Rock Garden with some fun adventures that are more challenging to keep even the experienced and well built rig busy. This trail ends at the Bowl on the Main part of the sand dunes.
Skull Canyon: For those who wanted a Buggy worthy trail this is it.
This trail is in CEDAR CITY! For those that want to stay in Cedar City Friday night and wheel Saturday this is the trail. If you plan on staying in St. George there will be some locals from there driving to Cedar City in the morning and you can caravan with them.
