Trail Information
Highlights
Another amazing trail in the Wasatch Mountains, Mineral Basin takes you some incredible sights in a very short drive from the city. After completing Lower Mill Canyon or Baker Fork Road, this trail will give you the challenge and excitement that you were looking for. Due to this area's rich mining history, you will see a vast array of colorful rocks as you climb through the Wasatch National Forest. Moose, porcupines, and deer are often seen in the area. In the heat of the summer, this is a great trail to cool off a little. The mountains are on fire in the Fall, with all the leaves changing color. There are many reasons this trail will quickly become a favorite!

Very fun trail. Tire placement is important, just like anywhere else, when picking your line. The optional obstacles, the U-turn and the slant obstacles were great. There are some spots you can make it more difficult if you want. Beautiful drives through some water, through the trees, that ends up at the bottom of Snowbird's Mineral Basin. The upper part of this trial as if 9/2/23 above the slant obstacle was starting to get pretty over grown thanks to the excellent winter and less people up this way due to the closure of the main road west if Forrest Lake

Can't wait to get back to this trail again. The trickiest spot in my stock Gladiator was WP11 as there isn't a lot of maneuvering room between the edge of the trail (dropoff) to get a good line, at least due to the water that was running over the rocks this time. Great views!
