  • San Rafael Swell 3-4 Day
    San Rafael Swell 3-4 Day Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, Arches, Natural Bridges, Dinosaur, Capital Reef, Grand Staircase... in a state brimming with national parks, it's easy to overlook another national treasure. Utah locals call it 'THE SWELL' a three thousand-foot fold of sandstone and shale on the edge of the Colorado Plateau. Its hidden canyons provided sanctuary to old west outlaw Butch Cassidy. Today the same red-wall canyons are your sanctuary from the everyday grind. You will ride back in time past abandoned mining camps and turn of the century ranches. Stop to explore cowboy camps, prehistoric Indian rock art, we might even see a few dinosaur prints. Your ride ends at the Wedge Overlook, Utah’s ‘Little Grand Canyon’. A thousand feet below, the San Rafael River counts another day in the eons… from above we count ourselves fortunate that such a place exists at all. SAMPLE ITINERARY One of the advantages of a bike trip is the flexibility of the daily itinerary. It can vary widely from one trip to the next based on ​ group desires, Mother Nature, and courtesy for other groups on the trail. The “Swell” is well known for its spectacular scenery and ​ abundance of historical sites. Dispersed camping offers the ultimate opportunity for choose your own adventure exploration of the vast maze of old mining roads and slot canyons. Expect to ride 20-30 miles per day. Day 1: Meet at Holiday River Expeditions headquarters in Green River, Utah. A one and one-half hour van ride takes us to Temple Mountain​ .

  • Bureau of Land Management Mineral Potential Report Price Field Office, Utah 2002
    Bureau of Land Management Mineral Potential Report Price Field Office, Utah 2002 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE The purpose of this report is to assess the mineral resource occurrence and development potential of all lands managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) Price Field Office in Carbon and Emery Counties, Utah. This assessment involved reviewing both published and unpublished data, and selecting pertinent information for use in the report. Identified mineral resources are classified according to the BLM system described in Manual 3031 (BLM, 1985) and Manual 3060 (BLM, 1994). As used in this report, the term mineral includes any earth material that is considered an economic commodity. The Price Field Office is currently revising and combining the Price River Resource Area Management Framework Plan (MFP), and the San Rafael Resource Management Plan (RMP), into a new management plan to be called the Price Field Office RMP. As part of the RMP, the BLM is required to prepare a Mineral Potential Report describing the occurrence and development potential of economic mineral commodities in the planning area. Once complete, this Mineral Potential Report will become incorporated into the broader RMP to provide decision makers with a better understanding of the mineral resources in the area, and the importance of those resources in the context of future land use allocations. Prior to the restructuring of the BLM in the mid-1990’s, the northern portion of the planning area was previously managed as the Price River Resource Area, while the southern area was designated the San Rafael Resource Area.

  • Utah Scenic Byways Guide
    Utah is the place where prehistory intersects with the enduring spirit of the Old West. Wild, adventure-rich places cradle vibrant urban centers. With interstates and airplanes, the world can feel pretty small. On Utah’s designated scenic byways, the world feels grand; its horizons seem infinite. As you drive through Utah, you’ll inevitably encounter many of the state’s scenic byways. In total, Utah’s distinct topography provides the surface for 27 scenic byways, which add up to hundreds of miles of vivid travel experiences wherein the road trip is as memorable as the destination. Utah’s All-American Road: Scenic Byway 12 headlines the network of top roads thanks to landscapes and heritage unlike anywhere else in the nation. All of Utah’s scenic byways are explorative journeys filled with trailheads, scenic overlooks, museums, local flavors and vibrant communities where you can stop for the night or hook up your RV. Not sure where to start? In the following pages, you’ll discover monumental upheavals of exposed rock strata among multiple national and state parks along the All-American Road (pg. 4); dense concentrations of fossils along Dinosaur Diamond (pg. 8); and the blazing red cliffs and deep blue waters of Flaming Gorge–Uintas (pg. 12) — and that’s just in the first three highlighted byways. Your journey continues down two dozen additional byways, arranged north to south. Best of all, these byways access an outdoor adventureland you can hike, fish, bike, raft, climb and explore from sunup to sundown — then stay up to welcome the return of the Milky Way.
