Riding the Casto Canyon ATV Trail is a truly breathtaking experience. On this trail you will be able to see all the beautiful red rock, lush green pines and spectacular blue horizons that Casto Canyon has to offer. A great view of red rock accompanies you for most of the trail, until you get into the ponderosa, where you are treated to a landscape of forest pines.
The Casto Canyon ATV Trail goes upwards easterly for about 5.5 miles where it connects to the Sanford Road and then the trail keeps going northeast about 1.9 miles and is after that referred to as the Barney Cove Trail. Standford road will also take you to the Limeklin trail, which goes to the west. The Standford Road trail also connects to the Fremont ATV trail, which will give you an option of going to various other trails.
There are two ways to enter the Casto Canyon ATV Trail. You can go from Highway 12 east towards Red Canyon, and right before you get to the initial red rocks you will see a sign for Losee and Casto Canyons on the left side of the highway.
