Wild Horse Canyon is an excellent way to continue your Behind the Reef overland adventure into the San Rafael Swell. Ideal for stock type 4x4s, the trail climbs over 1200' from Behind The Reef to sprawling meadows where herds of wild horses are seen grazing. The trail crosses meadow valleys where wild herds spend their days. Wild horses and burros have occupied the region since the Spanish Trail days in the early 1800's. The trail has a few rocky sections that require 4x4, durable tires, and high clearance; however, there are no hard obstacles, steep hill climbs, or extremely narrow ledges. The camping is pretty limited, and only a couple of small pull-off-type sites were found along the route.
