This network of dispersed sites follows Taylor Canyon Road for several miles, offering dramatic red sandstone walls and relative quiet compared to Sand Flats or Potash Road. Sites vary from roadside pullouts to more secluded spots deeper in the canyon. Most accommodate rigs up to 30 feet, with established fire rings and plenty of space to spread out. No facilities whatsoever.
Access is via a maintained dirt road suitable for any vehicle with clearance. Popular with rock climbers hitting the area’s sport routes, so expect some company during peak season. Fire restrictions apply during summer months. The road can be muddy and impassable when wet.
