Otherworldly, barren, and desolate describe the foreboding landscape along Salt Wash Trail. The trail winds through and across rugged canyons with colorfully striped cinder cones dotting the horizon. This rugged but oddly beautiful Utah desert is frequented by geologists and archaeologists seeking rare earth minerals and ancient fossils. Salt Wash Trail has enough 4x4 challenges to keep things exciting and a wild mix of terrain, an excellent alternative to the easier trails in the area.
