Utah has some outstanding 4-wheeling destinations and Bullion Canyon and the Miners Park Recreation Trail is not exception. This 4-wheeler trail can be entered on from Marysvale at the center of the Paiute ATV Trail in Pieta County. The Miners Park Recreation Trail begins at the bridge over Pine Creek on the Bullion Canyon Road just down from Miners Park.
From the bridge, the Miners Park Recreation Trail goes to an elevation over 2,800 ft in just a little over 5 miles. The trail offers 4-wheeler aficionados both a ride through a breathtakingly beautiful landscape of aspen and pine, and a chance to view a piece of Utah's history. Remains of the old town, which was established back in 1868 are available for viewing. Bring your camera as you'll want to capture this 4-wheeler ride in photos.
After you ride your 4-wheeler through this area, you will see the history that the former residents of this area left behind. The park features remains of the old town's trails, mine portals, tracks and some refurbished mining equipment all displayed for you to see. There are signs along the ATV trail that lead you through a tour of the park, and give you some details on just about every aspect of the old town and its history. When you're riding through, you will see a lot of old mine shaft openings, never enter a mine. Many mines are unstable due to age and many also contain pockets of toxic gases inside that you can not see or smell. However they are interesting, take photos of this historic ride!
