American Fork Canyon, UT - Forest Lake

Forest Lake 4x4 Trail Description: Forest Lake trail is a great trail for those willing to push their stock or slightly modified vehicles a little further. On dry summer days, the trail should be fairly easy but on wet spring/fall days, you will want a spotter. The very first part of the trail is probably the most technical. Two hill climbs in a row with the second climb having a tight spot at the top. The top of the second climb is still large enough to fit a full-size vehicle through. The rest of the trail is a little rock garden and then trails to the top. Be prepared for possible pin-striping. In the spring/fall you will encounter puddles; be careful as some may be a couple feet deep. This trail may require lockers and...

American Fork Canyon, UT - Mary Ellen Gulch

Mary Ellen Gulch 4x4 Trail Description: Mary Ellen Gulch is my one of my favorite trails in American Fork Canyon, unfortunately it has suffered a lot of damage during some heavy down pours this summer/fall. As always the lower 1/2 of the trail is very rocky, but as you get up to 9,500ft you'll start seeing rock slide/washouts but all are passable until you get to a big rock slide at 10,200ft. DO NOT try to go over this, you will die, there is also another large slide just before the Silver Bell mine. Anything larger than a quad should stop at the last sweeping turn (I've marked this with a waypoint). The washout on the shortcut between the cabin road and the main road has gotten much worse, it is impassable by quad without help...
