Hellroaring Rim Trail
Doug Ramsey Tuesday 4/12
Rich & Marilyn Weigand, Leaders Big Saturday, 4/16 This trail tours Mineral Point, part of the mesa country between the long deep gashes of Mineral and Hellroaring Canyons. These two canyons drain into the Labyrinth Canyon section of the Green River. The headwaters of these two canyons (as well as many others in the area) are shallow, normally dry drainages that suddenly plunge over rimrock into deep canyons. This is a pleasant, scenic family trail but we can’t assure that a stock vehicle will get through without a “thunk” of metal on rock. Approximate mileages: 80 total, 37 off highway.
Scenery: There are glimpses of Hellroaring Canyon along the way, but the final overlook near its confluence with Labyrinth Canyon is exceptional, a ridge top provides a view 50 miles or more in all directions.

Road Surface: Most of this trail, like many other local trails, was scratched into the rock formation known as Kayenta Sandstone. This formation provides a variety of shale and sandstone that erodes into rocky ledges, broken rock, and sandy dirt. Highlights: A couple of ledgy, sandy, and switch backed hills into a small canyon provide challenging descents. The climb out is interesting as well. There are some rocky ledges that could grab any low hanging parts. To be used: Tuesday 4/12 Thursday 4/14 and Big Saturday 4/16 Associate Leaders: Kevin Heckman, Robert Kraft, Doug Kvassay, No gear? No problem. John Marsh, Allan Olson.
