Burro Pass Trail

The Burro Pass Trail #315 is 2.4 miles long and located on the Moab Ranger District on the Manti-La Sal National Forest. It begins at Forest Road #240 (Burro Pass) and ends at Forest Trail #033 (Warner Lake/Beaver Basin). This trail is often closed due to snow and wet, muddy conditions until July. Many users will prefer to begin from Geyser Pass on Forest Road #071 as Forest Road #240 is rough and steep. Steep, narrow switchbacks are common along this trail as it winds through open meadows and spruce/fir forest. It is a steep climb from the trailhead to Burro Pass and an even steeper narrow descent from Burro Pass toward Warner Lake and Wet Fork Mill Creek. This popular trail sees use by multiple different types of users, primarily, hikers, mountain bikers and equestrian users. Please respect one another and observe standard trail etiquette: mountain bikers yield to both hikers and equestrian users and hikers yield to equestrian users. This trail is the highest elevation and beginning of the Whole Enchilada Mountain Bike trail which uses multiple other trails to travel from here back to the city of Moab. Some of the trails used to travel the Whole Enchilada are on BLM lands as well.
