Does anyone know anything about these trails down by St. George

Indain Springs Trail
Joshua Tree Loop
Hell Hole Pass Trail/TV Towers Jeep Trail
Scarecrow Peak Trail
The Divide Trail
Hurrican Cliffs Trail
 
What would you like to know?

I ran much of these trails one day in September at the start of our Expedition Utah traverse of S. Utah. Excellent desert scenery!

Indain Springs Trail (Yes, partial [from end of Scarecrow Pk to start of Hell Hole Pass)
Joshua Tree Loop (yes, partial [from south end to turn off for Hollow Wash)
Hell Hole Pass Trail/TV Towers Jeep Trail (yes)
Scarecrow Peak Trail (yes)
The Divide Trail (yes)
Hurrican Cliffs Trail (yes, partial [accessed it from Warner Valley Dino Tracks instead of from Hurricane)

I've run most of those as well, many times. They can all be done in a stock high-clearance vehicle and most are graded dirt roads. They are very pretty drives though.

I'm just trying to find out information about them in general since there isn't much on them (trail conditions, difficulty, etc...)

Thanks for the info:)! I would imagine the USGS has topo maps of the area. Do you know of any trails that would rate a 6 or 7 on a 1-10 scale in the area?:D I went to a UROC event down there a few years ago, but I don't know if that play ground is private or not. It would be out of my league anyway, but there have to be some moderately challenging trails down there right??:-\

Reference the 4wd Adventures Utah books by Massey and Wilson, Southwest Trails numbers 1-7. ( if by chance you don't have that yet.)

These roads are in great shape as of Sept. , most are smooth and well graded to echo solidfrontaxle, those that aren't are occasionally rocky, almost two track at worst.

having low range is a plus for steep parts of TV towers and Hurricane Cliffs.
Best Joshua Trees not burnt to a crisp in the big fire are along the Scarecrow Peak Trail and parts of Indian Springs.
