High Grade Trail

High Grade Trail offers a primitive camping experience in the heart of Utah’s stunning Southwest landscape. Managed by the BLM, this site is ideal for adventurers looking for a minimalist, off-the-grid escape. Because it remains open year-round, it serves as a versatile destination for those who want to immerse themselves in the desert terrain at their own pace.

The area is specifically prized by outdoor enthusiasts for its direct access to high-quality singletrack trails. The High Grade Trail itself is an easy 0.42-mile path that serves as an essential connector for mountain bikers heading toward the Prospector Trail, allowing riders to bypass equestrian-heavy routes. Hikers will also find the surrounding topography perfect for exploring the natural beauty of the region.

As a primitive site, there are no hookups or modern amenities available, making it best suited for tent campers and self-sufficient travelers who enjoy a true backcountry experience. Visitors should arrive prepared to be fully self-reliant during their stay. Whether you are looking for a quick overnight stop or a basecamp for your next biking excursion, this rugged site provides a quiet, authentic connection to the Utah wilderness.
