West Frontage Road

West Frontage Road is a hard-packed sand access road that parallels Highway 7 and is used to travel between Waddy's Corral staging area and the Lower Dune Road. There are no obstacles, and the trail is multiple vehicles wide. However, washboards and whoops are plentiful along this trail. West Frontage Road provides spectacular views of the Pine Valley Mountains and showcases the abundant desert flora seen all along the Sand Mountain OHV area.

This trail is suitable for any high clearance vehicle.

About Sand Mountain

Sand Mountain is an extremely unique parcel of public land. Designated as an Open OHV Area, riders are free to make their own trails. Due to this, many of the long-established named trail routes have several variations that can take easier or more challenging routes through the intended trail. The GPX track for this trail helps you navigate the area, but various lines, bypasses, and additional obstacles may exist along the way. Riders are encouraged to stay on existing trails and not unnecessarily drive over or destroy vegetation.

Fees

Riding on Sand Mountain is entirely free. However, there are multiple entry/exit points for the area, including "the tunnel," which connects Sand Hollow State Park to the open OHV area. Any entry into the boundaries of Sand Hollow State Park requires a Utah State Park Pass.

Requirements

When operating on Sand Mountain, users must attach an orange or red safety flag to the vehicle, rising at least 8 feet off the ground.
