Mineral Bottom Road is an epic 4wd route that takes you from the upper edge of Mineral Canyon and drops you into the canyon’s bottom along the Green River. The visually stimulating descent into the canyon is along a switchback filled shelf road that offers plenty of visual exposure with sheer drop offs and imposing canyon walls. Mineral Bottom Road will create anxiety for those with a fear of heights. Once you are in the bottom of the canyon, you will get the feeling of being in an old-time western movie. This is the kind of road that you will remember for a lifetime.
Mineral Bottom Road is a well-maintained dirt road. The first part of the road is level, wide and is more akin to a typical country road. As the road drops into Mineral Canyon at the switchbacks, the road narrows a bit while still allowing for vehicle to be able to pass. In the canyon’s bottom, Mineral Bottom Road withers out as it approaches Hell Roaring Canyon along the Green River. This trail is suitable for most vehicles during dry conditions. Wet and snowy conditions make this road very dangerous. No off-road experience is necessary for this road, but be prepared for driving along cliff edges as you negotiate the switch backs.
