Hero: Baker Ranch Road
small-sr Icon

From the desert to the pines, this road gains 3,000 feet of elevation as it bridges the BLM lands of the San Rafael Swell and Fishlake National Forest. Baker Ranch Road travels easily along wide gravel ledges with dramatic views across the Rock Springs Bench and Cathedral Valley. Traction can be difficult when climbing the loose gravel and bumpy hill; a 4x4 is required to prevent washboards. Ranchers can be hauling big trailers, so use caution and slow down around blind turns. The trail is closed during winter months and is impassable in wet conditions. Camping was limited to a couple of small pull-off campsites with expansive views. The best camping in the area can be found at the western end of the trail, along Elkhorn Road.
