San Rafael Desert 9050

San Rafael Desert 9050 is one of many trails leading to remote regions along the banks of the Green River. 9050 begins as a non-descript gray dirt two-track along Lower San Rafael Road. The trail becomes scenic and mildly challenging, with spectacular views of this uniquely rugged landscape. You'll need 4x4, high-clearance, and durable tires to work down to the river's brushy banks. No camping was found along the route, but riverside camping is available on numerous area trails. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the trail's end, where a gate may be locked along the narrow ledge road, preventing access to a water well with room to turn around.
