Beginning near the beautiful Joes Valley Reservoir, North Dragon takes users south on a maintained dirt road through juniper and pinyon trees in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The only obstacles are traffic jams with cattle that roam the area. Giving users access to a network of trails, North Dragon is a great option to start your day or weekend excursion. Campsites are scattered throughout the trail.
The name North Dragon and road number 50170 continue south but have a completely different feel and difficulty, hence the split into two trails. If you are a 2-wheel drive vehicle without decent clearance, this northern portion of North Dragon is all you will want to drive.
