Overview

Potters Peak trail traverses a rugged and remote mountainous region of southwestern Utah. The early section of the route travels through Upper Beaver Dam Wash and the small community of Motoqua, UT. After leaving the canyon, you zigzag your way across countless mountain ridgelines with expansive views of the surrounding mountains, containing the trail's namesake: Potters Peak standing at 4850 feet. It is all about the adventure, and this trail has a couple of very narrow spots to get your heart racing, be sure to give yourself ample space on these sections. The trail is an ideal connector for those looking for a true backcountry overland route. Connecting this trail with others can lead to a multi-day adventure or just a day cruise within a very lightly used wilderness region of Utah. Either way, be sure to go prepared for a remote high-desert 4x4 experience.
