Railroad Bed Road is a common thoroughfare when exploring the West Desert and the Tintic Mountains. Connecting the 5 Mile Recreation Area to the East Tintic Mountains, this occasionally maintained road is much quicker than heading back to Redwood Road and running along Utah Lake. Occasional ruts from large storms are the only obstacle, and you can often pick up some speed along this trail. Just be respectful of others on the trail, as it is often very dusty. This trail is also part of the large Prospector Trail Network. Camping can be found on the northern end, in the 5 Mile Recreation Area, where pit toilets are available.
