This area consists of roads that start in the sagebrush flats and climb among
the pine, fir, and aspen. Choose a variety of road surfaces from maintained
graveled to undeveloped two-tracks. Some private land is on the mountain so
ask permission before riding off of public roads. Also, there may be active
logging operations on the mountain so be alert for equipment and logging
trucks. A variety of rides can be found from a 31-mile loop ride based out of
Prior Flat Campground (no water available) to shorter rides on the mountain.
Trips can last one hour to all day. Wildlife viewing includes deer, elk and
pronghorn.

The Bennett Mountains WSA encompasses 6,003 acres of BLM-administered land
with no inholdings or split estate. The study area contains three basic types
of topography: the mountain plateau/ridges, the steep, rocky ledges and the
many tributary draws. Vegetation is primarily grasses, sagebrush and other
shrubs, with pockets of pine, aspen and willows. The Bennett Mountains WSA
provides opportunities for primitive recreational activities that primarily
include hunting, hiking, trapping, camping, wildlife viewing and sightseeing.
The rugged and diverse terrain provides high quality opportunities for a
primitive and unconfined type of recreation. There are no unique or
exceptional recreation opportunities within this WSA.
