Upper Setting
Just at the beginning of Mirror Lake Highway, Upper Setting Trail is a favored route for UTV and ATV rentals, offering swift access and effortless exploration. It’s a haven for camping enthusiasts, with numerous scenic sites overlooking the majestic Uinta Mountains. The trail is meticulously maintained, occasionally frequented by cars, though venturing off the main dirt road leads to rockier terrain. At the trailhead summit, a small lake awaits, yet to reach the picturesque Castle Lake or Shingle Creek Lakes, hikers should don sturdy boots and continue on foot.
Norway Flats
The Norway Flats area, just a short 10-mile drive from town, serves as a perfect gateway to the expansive wilderness of the mountains. Surrounded by towering pines, Norway Flat offers an accessible yet rugged trail leading to numerous idyllic camping spots and small lakes ideal for kayaking and serene relaxation. Because there are no developed campsites directly along the trail and the lakes are relatively small, this area remains quieter and less frequented.
Renting a UTV or ATV allows you to escape the crowds and revel in the refreshing mountain air. At the trail’s summit, you can marvel at Little Elk Lake, or for a more adventurous outing, pack your hiking gear and swimsuit to explore Island Lake, renowned as one of the premier cliff jumping spots in the Uinta Mountains.

Don’t miss Iron Mine Lake along the way, a haven for fishing enthusiasts seeking tranquility amidst stunning natural surroundings.
Spring Canyon
In the northeastern Utah’s Uinta Mountains, Spring Canyon beckons as a hidden gem of a trail. Popular among locals, it offers endless opportunities for adventure with your UTV/ATV rental.

Water enthusiasts will delight in the numerous lakes perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, and excellent fishing. For camping enthusiasts, Spring Canyon is an ideal starting point, boasting hundreds of spots ranging from expansive group sites to secluded retreats.
