Red Canyon off-road Trails

Red Canyon 4WD & ATV Trails

Casto Canyon Trail to Losee Canyon Loop
This loop is open to off-road vehicles and is quite popular due to the great views of red rocks and forested lands. The elevation gain is 950'. When entering Red Canyon, turn east on Forest Service Road 118, driving via a bridge, over the Sevier River. It's about 4 miles to where the trail begins. About 4 miles into the trail is a junction. From the junction, take the south path to Losee Canyon. Overnight stays are allowed along this forest service route and staying in Losee Canyon is ideal. In Losee Canyon enjoy the fifteen small arches and incredible views.

This 1.9 mile moderate trail is open to ATVs. This trail is used primarily as a connector trail between the Casto Canyon and Fremont ATV trails.
