Factory Butte Road

This off-road trail crosses a dead flat plateau of hard packed, grayish clay, with views of Factory Butte, the most recognizable feature in the immediate area. It is bordered by Capitol Reef to the west, the Henry Mountains to the south, San Rafael Swell to the north and the San Rafael Desert to the east. This road gives you access to the vast network of four-wheel drive routes within the Factory Butte OHV system, and can also be used to connect to Wild Horse Road, which takes you all the way to Goblin Valley on dirt. Interestingly, some scenes of Disney's "John Carter" was filmed in the area of Factory Butte.
