Trail Overview

This trail is also know by a few different names: Pardoes 4WD Trail, Squaw Ridge, and Carson Emigrant Trail, but was officially renamed Hungalelti in 2018. It is a very scenic drive with great 360-degree views as you climb the ridge. The 2nd portion of the trail, if starting from Lower Bear River Reservoir, does get more technical with plenty of potential to get high-centered or stuck. Hungalelti West (16E26) comes to an end at an intersection with Mud Lake 4WD Trail. However, the Hungalelti trail does continue past this intersection as 17E24 and is a much more difficult and very technical trail as it winds up towards Melissa Coray Peak.

Difficulty

The first half of this trail is easy although too narrow for a full-size rig. About halfway through is a fun off-camber technical section that requires crawling over boulders and ledges while squeezing between trees. A lift and at least 33-inch tires will get you through it.

History

This route follows along the Carson Emigrant Trail. There are a few markers that tell the story of the early settlers along the way.
