Fallen Peace Officer Trail

Wander through remote, rugged backcountry.

A rugged, remote loop that climbs to a high ridge with views across the valley to Sevenmile Rim, Monitor and Merrimac Buttes, Highways 191 and 313. Before Waypoint 04, you can see Tower Arch (Trail #5) inside Arches National Park. Stay on the well-marked designated route at all times. Do not, under any circumstances, cross the boundary into Arches National Park. A great ATV, UTV route.

No major obstacles, but narrow, rough and rocky in parts. We hit one bad washed-out spot at 0.6 mile that gave our smaller-tired UTV a workout. Our Jeep, with 35" tires, would have had no problems. Not recommended for wider or newer SUVs.
