For those looking to continue their overland journey across The Swell, Big Flat is a scenic and historic route that will be a welcomed alternative to the groomed gravel along the Green River Cut-Off. Early pioneers built a railroad through this rugged landscape. However, all signs of its existence have been eroded by nature. Sections of this route follow the old rail grade that powerlines have now replaced. The trail travels across wide-open meadows with picturesque views of Cedar Mountain. Deep washouts and mild rocky climbs will require 4x4 low-range gearing, high clearance, and durable off-road type tires.
