Ute Road was once paved, but after severe flash flooding and washouts, it has become a patchwork of pavement, dirt, embedded rock, and ledges serving as a gatekeeper to accessing the Weiser Valley trail system. The only option to avoid Ute Road is to use Old Spanish Trail North.
Ute Road's excitement is located within the rock canyon that cuts through California Ridge. In the canyon, you will find plenty of opportunities to test the articulation of your suspension and your line-choice ability. You will even be greeted by the remains of what is perhaps an early 2000s mid-sized SUV. Dispersed campsites can be found on the west end of the canyon, making them accessible from I-15 without entering the canyon. Additional camping is available at the trailhead area of Weiser Valley.
At its eastern end, Ute Road dead ends at a management gate, making it purely a road for the excitement of the obstacles and to access Weiser Valley.
