Trestle Road is an easily accessible meandering drive across high desert prairies and under the towering Gordon Creek Trestle. Built in 1912, Gordon Creek Trestle is a steel girder bridge 135' high and 634' long with a 60 percent curve in the span. The now closed and rusting frame remains the longest steel girder bridge still standing in Utah. The trail is a dirt and gravel road with washboard bumps, a bumpy shallow water crossing, and steep hills. Because of private property, camping is very limited along the route. One spot below the trestle, along the creek, had a rock fire ring and room for a couple of vehicles with tents.
