2 Sandy-Caddy Creek Loop

This trail is located on the northern portion of the Cedar City Ranger District, includes over 22 miles of trail (not including spurs), and sees few visitors. The eastern side of the trail is located in the lower elevation sagebrush region and gains elevation as you head west up into the forest. This trail is pretty thin in spots making it nearly impassible to full sized vehicles. It follows three-mile Creek for a while then it climbs out of the canyon bottom, over the ridge top and descends to Sandy Creek. This trail passes the Bear Valley Guard Station and then ties into Trail 1.
