Lytle Ranch Road East

Trail Overview

Lytle Ranch Road East is a 4.7-mile point-to-point access road leading into the Beaver Dam Wash National Conservation Area. The Beaver Dam Wash NCA is approximately 63,500 acres located in the southwestern corner of Washington County, Utah. The landscape provides an interesting ecological transition zone between the Mojave Desert, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau. The NCA provides habitat for the desert tortoise, bighorn sheep, Joshua trees, and other threatened and sensitive species. Joshua trees and dense stands of black brush cover the slopes of the Beaver Dam Mountains, which rise along the eastern boundary of the NCA. Surface water flows in the upper reaches of Beaver Dam Wash, but rarely travels all the way through the NCA. The road is a well-maintained two-track rated 2 of 10. Cell phone coverage will be spotty and the nearest services are located in Beaver Dam.
