Head off to Freemont Trail in Utah and you are sure to find that it is an incredible place to ride your 4-wheeler. As with all Utah excursions, your 4-wheeler must have the tag issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles clearly on display and you must be wearing a helmet. Other safety apparel is just smart too.
After doing a pre-ride inspection, you're ready to check out all that this great place as to offer! There are over 50 miles of 4-wheeler trails between the Tropic Reservoir on the Paunsaugunt Plateau to where it connects to the Paiute Trail in Circleville, Utah. Although the trail is on existing roads, it gets more rugged and remote as it crosses the Limekiln, Sanford, and Smith drainages. This part of the trail can be challenging even to an experienced 4-wheeler rider.
Along this 4-wheeler trail you will take in spectacular views of red rock cliffs, and wind your way through ponderosa pine forests. Quaking Aspen stands and Sage Flats as you climb in and out of the canyons. There are so many highs and lows in this one area, a little something for everyone's 4-wheeler riding preferences.
Elevations range from 7880 feet at Tropic Reservoir to 9030 feet at Smith Canyon and dropping to 6080 in Circleville. Remember, as with all places you have not had a chance to ride your 4-wheeler before, get a new map and learn the area you will be riding. Landscapes and landmarks change and it is just good sense to know all you can about the place you're going to ride. There are a lot of challenges on this trail, but that just makes for a better 4-wheeler ride!
