Manti-La Sal National Forest

Trail from the Skyline Drive road to the prominent peak of Mary's Nipple. Starts off as doubletrack but is mostly singletrack. Steep climbing to get up on top of Nipple Ridge, then beautiful meadows along the ridge to the base of the peak. Very steep to get up to the summit, with a tricky cliff section at the top. There are two routes up the cliff, one on the northeast corner (where the map shows) and another on the southeast corner. Spectactular views from the summit of everything from Mt Nebo to the Tushars and the Pahvant Mountains to the Henry Mountains.

Traditionally Indigenous Territory
