Verde Mounds is an easy scenic crossover along the northern edge of the San Rafael Swell, offering sprawling views of the valleys leading to the Book Cliffs. The trail crosses broad meadows where pronghorn antelope and cattle graze on the rolling grassy mounds named after a long-forgotten town. In dry conditions, the trail is passable in 2WD vehicles equipped with durable tires for the chunky corrugated gravel. No established campsites were found on this windswept route.
