Hog Canyon Trail System
Thursday, December 12, 2024
| Other Names | Toms Cabin, Pugh Canyon, Dry Spring, Kanab OHV Trail System, Willis Canyon, Maringer Canyon, Thompson Point, Sheep Springs |
| Last Known Status | Open |
This trail system offers a nice mix of technical trails that range wide and sandy trails to challenging rock crawls for 4x4s. The trail system has two access points but the western trailhead offers a large parking area plus an informational kiosk a short distance in.
Most of the trails are geared for the experienced rider but most sections have go around spots to use. The area is very scenic and offers several vistas with panoramic views of surrounding canyons, plateaus and ravines.
