Trail Spring

Lesser known to the offroad crowd, the eastern portion of the San Rafael Swell has a few hidden gems. Trail Spring is one of those seldom explored nuggets. Along with some great views of the "benches" of the Swell, this trail leads you on a geologic voyage bordering on sensory overload. From the traditional yellow and tan sand indicative of the area, you quickly jump into what can only be described as an other worldly environment of packed black and white dirt with patches of deep purple and maroon. And just as quick, you roll into red rock reminiscent of Moab, which soon gives way to the Swell's ubiquitous yellow sand. If landscape diversity is your thing, this trail will surely excite you.
