ATV and Jeep Trails

Nine Mile House (at the star in the center of the map) is in an ideal location for accessing the hundreds of miles of 4WD trails north of Moab. All of the trails in the three areas highlighted on the map are accessible to ATVs directly from the house -- no need to trailer your toys.

Note: A2, A3, and A4 are part of the newly marked Sovereign Trail system.

Area B

B1: Blue Hills
B2: Mill Creek
B3: Monitor & Merrimac
B4: Cotter Mine

Note: B2, B3, and B4 are part of the Seven Mile Rim Trail.

You can get to any of the trails in Area A from the newly-marked Sovereign Trail system, which passes to the east of the house. Note that ATVs are not permitted in Arches National Park.

You can get to any of the trails in Area B from the Cotter Mine Road, which starts at the large turnout directly across Hwy 191 from the house. This road connects with the Blue Hills road, which also gives access to the Dubinky Well road and a number of other trails.

You can get to any of the trails in Area C by travelling south on the Sovereign Trail and Bar M Loop and crossing Hwy 191 at the entrance to the Bar M Chuckwagon.

We recommend the Latitude 40 maps, which were originally designed for mountain biking, but are equally well suited for four-wheeling (just ignore the warnings about "brutal beach sand"):
