Left Fork Rhodes Canyon

Left Fork Rhodes Canyon is another option jogging between Silver Meadows and Rhodes Canyon. This trail is a tale of two conditions, really, split between two national forests. On the east side, the trail resides in the Ashley National Forest and is far from maintained. The climb is bumpy, rocky, and narrow, and 4WD and low range are highly recommended. The loose football-sized rocks will shift around as your tires propel you up the inclines. Pinstriping is also likely due to the overgrowth encroaching on the trail. The western portion of the trail before the pond lies within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, which is a well-traveled, easy dirt road leading to wide-open camping in the flat basin.

Camping is limited to the western portion of the road. It is dispersed dry camping, with only man-made fire rings. Most sites are large enough for multiple trailers but close enough together that you will likely hear your neighbors.
