WARNING: Due to a landslide last fall, highway UT-14 is closed from about mile 5 to 27 till summer of 2012, and this trail cannot be reached by car this winter.

This narrow dirt road is located on Southern Utah University agricultural property and is accessible at about mile marker 10.5 on highway UT-14 east of Cedar City. It starts across the highway from the SUU Mountain Center, a beautiful rustic conference center. The Mountain Center is on the right side of UT-14 as you drive east from Cedar City. If the gate to the Mountain Center is closed, one can park in front of the gate, off to the side. To reach the mountain road one must cross the highway, then cross a shallow creek which runs all winter and which usually has a crossable narrow bridge of ice when there is enough snow to ski. If you can't ski across the creek then chances are that the snow on the road is not deep enough for skiing (unless you like skiing on gravel).

WARNING: For liability reasons, SUU currently does not normally extend permission for the public to use this road, except during the Cedar City Winter Festival held in February. Some people ski on it without permission, and our ski club hopes that SUU will eventually allow public access to this road as a public recreation area, but at this time we cannot recommend using it. It evidently is accessible only to a certain family which is using the land for grazing.

If you are able to obtain permission to ski on this road you will experience a beautiful winding trail through the mountains, with valleys at your left. The road apparently extends for many miles and branches into the Ashdown Gorge Wilderness area.
