Although you're more likely to see pronghorn, Horse Heaven was named for the meadows and shady canyons horses once populated. Horse Heaven is a moderate 4x4 trail connecting different San Rafael Recreation Area regions. The trail has mild hills with loose dirt and rocks that may require 4x4. The trail twists through desert scrub brush and across rocky washes that require high clearance and durable tires. Connecting with Cottonwood to the Big Flat area creates an enjoyable back-country overland route. The route has no established campsites.
