Hanging Tree Trail, Sanpete county Utah
Parking is now available for the Hanging Tree Trail in Sanpete county.
It is at the parking for the West Campus of Snow College.
Some of this I am posting here I cut and pasted from what I said in another forum (url removed because I don't have enough posts) –
...Well, tonight I talked with Derek. He's the chief of police for Snow College. So here’s the deal....
As of tonight is anyone going to the Hanging Tree Trail can use the Snow College West Campus parking lot. ON WEEKENDS ONLY. And when there is no shindig going on, like the car show or whatever. The catch is, EVERY vehicle that goes to park there must (1) call Derek and make sure it’s ok, first. (2) Then you must register with the campus security when you get there. They might have you park a certain way or in a certain location. Those two are the simplest requirements to meet. If anything it’s a show of respect to the school. It’s the least you can do.
There are video cameras present, unsure how much is on camera, but your trucks and trailers are safe there. Also, as required, tell them when you plan on returning to your trucks. This is good, really, because if you’re staying over night on the trail, and you don’t show up as planned, someone has an idea where you’re at and can call Search and Rescue if needed. A win-win situation.
Now, I said “on weekends only”. Who knows, maybe they’ll let one or two park there during the week and maybe they won’t. The key here is to call Derek first and ask.
In General—
Also, when going to the Hanging Tree Trail, please close the gates if you open them.
Please do not park west of the main gate without permission, that is private property. The owner has authorized me to charge a fee for parking west of the gate. Call me or the owner for more information.
Please do not litter.
Please do not vandalize anything, including the camp in Dry Canyon.
Please consider the surrounding area when you are shooting. You “might be” on BLM land, and you “might not” be on BLM land. There are locations along both XL and Dry Canyon roads where the boundaries are not clearly marked. And the ranch hands are not wearing reflecting vests, nor are the sheep.
Also, some people have taken it upon themselves to shoot the pipeline in the canyon, and that carries culinary water. Please do not shoot the pipeline, in fact, no shooting in XL Canyon (at this time) unless you know you are on BLM or SITLA properties.
Be cautious as mountain lions and rattlesnakes are in the area.
Derek Walk, Snow College Chief of Police, (435)340-1311.
That’s his cell phone. If he asks, tell him I gave you his number.
Also, if anyone needs any help or has any questions, feel free to call and ask. 435-299-0498. You can also text me.
