Wild Horse Road

Trail Overview

Wild Horse Road starts at Goblin Valley Utah State Park and makes its way towards Factory Butte. You can stop along the way to visit many hiking trails and slot canyons. Most of this trail is fairly easy as it is mainly packed dirt. There are some sand washes and loose rocks you will be crossing (or driving in and through the washes). These can change daily as flash floods push rocks, sticks, and extra sediment downstream after rainstorms. One day, this trail may be rated as a three; other days, it could be a four. At a minimum, the muddy creek crossing will be a four but could be rated as high as a six, depending on the water's current flow rate and how sticky the mud is.

Difficulty

Loose sand in the washes, possible large rocks and timber that has been brought downstream from flash floods.There is a water crossing that at most times is very easy, however right after a storm it can get deep and the mud can get churned up and make crossing difficult. If you are unsure if you can cross the water crossing, I would walk across it to test its depth and get a feel for how the mud is. On a typical day I would rate this a 3 or a 4, but right after a storm it could be rated as high as a 6.
