Overview

Wild Horse Road is a visually stimulating treat of quintessential Utah landscapes. Starting just past the towering form of Factory Butte, this offroad trail takes you through the distinct features of Little Wild Horse Mesa, Little Wildhorse Canyon, the San Rafael Swell, and Goblin Valley. Encapsulated between more popular offroad areas of 'The Swell,' Capital Reef National Park, and Moab, this trail is lightly used by comparison and feels utterly remote. If the stunning visual scenery isn't enough, add a river crossing, winding washes to navigate, and your pick of dispersed campsites - and Wild Horse Road may quickly become a new favorite for you.
