Black Mountain Resource Road is a tale of two roads despite being one continual road name. Located west of the Great Salt Lake, this West Desert trail provides vast views of some of the lesser towering mountain ranges of Utah. The western portion is a maintained dirt road, often combined with Black Mountain Road, to reach the cell towers at the peak. There are no notable obstacles in this portion. After the split with Black Mountain Road, the eastern half is an unmaintained 2-track with a mixture of loose dirt, embedded rock, and scattered loose rocks upwards of 6" in diameter. Although 4wd is not needed on this half, higher clearance will be. Although portions of this trail cross BLM land, camping was not found. There are a few nearby dispersed options on other roads, however.
