TOUGHEST Trail In Northern Utah - Mineral Basin

Join the Rogue Overland crew as we tackle Utah’s Mineral Basin Trail — a rugged, high‑mountain route near American Fork Canyon just south of Salt Lake City. Also known as Forest Road 085, this trail combines rocky climbs, stream crossings and tight switchbacks that test even experienced drivers; one minute you’re winding through dense forest, the next you’re above treeline with alpine views stretching for miles:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}. In our review and documentary, watch our vehicles take on “rocks, rocks and more rocks,” high‑center on obstacles, and then roll on to breathtaking vistas.

Located in the Wasatch Mountains, Mineral Basin is steeped in mining history and offers a mix of adrenaline‑pumping terrain and serene scenery. Whether you’re planning your own trip or just love off‑road stories, you’ll see what it takes to navigate this challenging OHV trail. We’ll share tips on rig setup, what surprised us, and why this route is a must for any off‑road enthusiast.
