Caineville Reef Road

Caineville Reef Road provides you with a cut-over from Cathedral Valley Loop to Factory Butte Road (north of the Factory Butte geologic feature). The trail directly follows the North Caineville Reef and Mesa, snaking through an area that may surprise you with the stark difference of surface features on either side of you. In some sections of the trail, a gray, moon-scape-like terrain will be on your right, while pink and red-hued rock is a head-turn to your left.

Although no camping is found along this trail, it does lead to Factory Butte Road, which gives you access to the Factory Butte OHV Area and Skyline Rim, where open dispersed camping is available.

Much of Caineville Reef Road travels in a wash, meaning conditions can change quickly, turning this trail from easily traversable to a nightmare mud pit. This trail should be considered Impassable When Wet. The general area is well-known for the extremely sticky mud that forms when rain and snow soak the ground.
