This multiple-use trail crosses BLM and Forest Service lands in this area. The
corridor provides for all uses along the same trail in some sections, and
separates motorized and non-motorizes uses in other areas. Users along this
section of the trail will enjoy the picturesque stands of aspen and conifer
interspersed with meadows, opportunities to enjoy periods of solitude and
spectacular vistas of the San Rafael Swell, Henry Mountains, LaSal Mountains
and Waterpocket Fold. Running from Mexico to Canada, this portion of the trail
runs from the Fish Lake National Forest lands on Thousand Lake Mountain down
Sand Creek into Torrey, then south along a county road through lands managed
by the Richfield Field office near Government Peak (also known as Black
Point). The trail system here is located in the Red Gate formation which marks
the transition from the Basin and Range to the Colorado Plateau in this
region. Access to the trail can be found by trailheads just East of Bicknell
or by trailheads near Torrey found by directional signs on the side of Highway
24 near both east and west side of town.

Great Western Trail

The WSA is on a broad plateau that slopes gently north-northeast, and is
intricately dissected by deep, narrow, meandering canyons that drain eastward
into the Fremont River. Narrow, relatively flat-topped ridges separate the
canyons. Vegetation is predominantly pinyon-juniper with associated grasses.
Ecological and botanical features are related to high quality riparian habitat
along Sulfur Creek.

Fremont Gorge

Sevier Canyon, also known as Marysvale Canyon, lies along the Paiute and
Sevier County lines. Utah State Highway 89 runs directly down its course along
the west side, with the Sevier River in its bottom. The river attracts
rafters, tubers, fishermen, campers, and has a developed and popular bike path
running along the East side of the river to the resort of Big Rock Cany
Mountain. Access to the trail can be found at the mouth of the canyon, Joseph,
Elsinore, and Central. Access is planned to be available through the town of
Richfield as the trail continues to be developed. The scenic views in Sevier
Canyon are excellent.
