Land OwnerUtah Division of Wildlife Resources
This is the older official GWT trail, but it is kind of rocky and even a bit double track. This is a great trail going down. It is pretty wide in spots, but the sharp rocks and technical sections make this a fun downhill. Sometimes there are little berms and jumps built, but they often get torn down.
Disclaimer
The middle section is private property, and the landowner is iffy about access, but it is left here until a permanent route for the BST & GWT can be negotiated.
