Getting there: On US-89 in Ephraim, turn east (toward the mountains) on 100 North. Drive until the road turns to gravel, and continue 2.7 miles from the center of town. As you cross a cattleguard, note the parking area and the kiosk to your right. The road straight ahead north is the main WMA road. The smaller dirt road forking to the east is the doubletrack you'll ride to reach Rabbit Run or Cougar Alley. Water: none. Bathrooms: none |
