Brigham Plains Road-BLM430

Trail Overview

Brigham Plains Rd-BLM430 is a 12-mile point-to-point trail rated 3 of 10. It can be accessed from the north end from Cottonwood Road and the south end from Coyote Valley Road. Brigham Plains Road is located on the south side of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The southern section follows the Coyote Wash. The wash is inviting and there may be an urge to ride the wash, but remember this is a stay-the-road area. Climbing out of Coyote Wash, the trail switchbacks up to the Kaiparowits Plateau. This area is called the Brigham Plains and offers scenic views. After crossing the plateau, there is a series of switchbacks descending the ridge back to Cottonwood Canyon Road. The area where the road is located is remote and completely undeveloped. There are no services anywhere along the route. There is no cell phone coverage along this route. The nearest immediate services will be located in Big Water with a larger selection in Kanab to the west or Page, Arizona, to the east.
