Although southern Utah is known for its red rocks and desert landscapes, just outside of Escalante is a high-elevation mountain paradise hosting a number of incredible roads. Sweetwater is one of those hidden gems. Located off of the famous Hells Backbone Loop, this spur is a difficult journey to a beautiful lake. The trail looks innocent at first, but halfway through the trail, you will be greeted with very steep climbs with loose, chunky rocks scattered everywhere. Lightly modified vehicles will find comfort in using lockers or traction aids in addition to 4 low.
Camping along the trail is offered in a few locations before the difficult hill climbs, but the prize location is on the lake at the end of the trail. Many of the sites offered will comfortably accommodate 4-5 rigs.
