Nasty Flat Road

Trail Overview

Nasty Flat Road stretches from McMillan Springs Campground on the north, alongside the western peak of the Henry Mountains. There are sparse pine and quaking aspen patches along the route. There are incredible views looking west over the cliffs and canyons of Capitol Reef National Park and the Escalante Plateau. This is a limited draw mule deer hunting area which can lead to finding larger buck deer. There is also a free-roaming bison herd that roams between the mountain range and west towards the east side of Capitol Reef.
