Continuing your Behind The Reef adventure through Little Wild Horse Canyon may be the adrenaline boost your overland trip needed. With two choices at the end of Behind the Reef trail, Little Wild Horse is the difficult option for reaching the higher elevations within the San Rafael Swell. The trail winds through a rocky wash before climbing along narrow, steep, rocky ledges. A few hills are long, loose rock, requiring low-range gearing, offroad tires, and a confident driver. The views of the colorful reef, buttes, and canyons go on for miles as you wind your way up to the meadows on top of The Swell. There were no established campsites found along this challenging trail.
