The life of a grizzly bear is celebrated among this trail as it runs to the grave of Old Ephraim, the last known grizzly bear in the state of Utah. Along this scenic drive through the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache national forest situated near Logan, Utah, you will wind your way through aspen groves, towering pines, and across open valleys. This off-road trail is a great way to escape the heat of the city during the few months of the year that it is open. Due to its elevation and location deep in the mountains, it is only accessible about 6 months out of the year. Camping and hunting are very popular along this trail so you are likely to not be alone. Although this may seem like an easy trail, there is much to see and do in the area so you can plan anything from a day trip to a multi-day adventure within this large network of trails, combining it with routes such as Temple Fork, Millville Canyon and Logan Peak, or you can jump over to Bear Lake Summit Trail or Temple Canyon and spend some time down at Bear Lake.

Follow S Main Street south until it forks into Highway 89 S/165 where you will continue directly south onto 165. In about three miles, turn left (east) onto E Mill Road/200 S. Follow 200 S. for just under half of a mile. Turn right (south) onto 100 W, which will bend left and become 300 S. In one mile, turn right (south) onto 500 E. The trailhead for Millville Canyon will be in just over half of a mile. You must then complete Millville Canyon, part of Adams Corral, and Marie Spring Trail.
Another option is to complete Bear Lake Summit Trail and part of Temple Fork. This will put you at the end of Old Ephraim's Grave. To reach the Bear Lake Summit Trail from Logan, Utah, head west out of town on Highway 89 to Logan Canyon. Follow 89 for about 33 miles until you reach the summit. The trail will be on your right (south).
Fun trail! Moderate conditions. There are tons of different tails in this area. You could literally spend all weekend up there and not run out of roads to explore.

Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, he's only been off-roading since he was 16 but fell in love immediately. He attended college in Denver for Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management and wheeled in Colorado for 4 years, but ended up moving back home to Salt Lake City. He currently works in an off-road shop and spends his free time doing anything he can to stay busy, which is usually working on his jeep or playing music. Outside of off-roading, he is an avid whitewater rafter and outdoor cook. Camping at least every other weekend in any season is a normal year. The further from civilization, the better. Bring on the memories!
