The
Patton ATV Trail is located up Manti Canyon. The staging area for
the trail is approx 2.9 miles up the canyon. You will see a small
sign on the main canyon road marked Patton Trail. The staging area
offers plenty of parking, pit toilets and a detailed map of the
trail.

There
are several ATV trails offered up the canyon and they all eventually
lead to the valley below or connect to one another. When we road the
Patton Trail we actually started on Burnt
Hill Road which is another trail that links to the Patton
Trail. The pictures of the trail are us headed down to the staging
area.

The
trail winds its way through beautiful groves of Aspens and Pines.
The trail also offers some challenging sections, mostly towards the
trail head.

Directions
- To get to Manti Canyon, take Hwy 89 to Manti. Once in Manti
turn east on 5th south. This will take you to the mouth of the
canyon.
Note:
When heading up the Patton Trail the trail will fork. You will have
the option to take the trail towards the Burnt Hill Road or you can
head up towards Sky Line Drive, or down the sheep trail back into
Manti. I have not taken the Sky Line or Sheep trail routes. So I'm
unaware of the trail and its conditions.
Trail
Update Submitted By Greg Wayman - The Skyline and the sheep
trail require about the same ATV skills as the Burnt Hill Rd. The
Skyline route will take you along the ridge line of six mile canyon
(Sterling) or you can head back down Manti Canyon. The sheep trail
begins just past the stock lumber yard on the east side of highway
89.
Trail
Update Submitted By L Montoya Of Manti Ut - The
Sheep Trail is a skilled trail, this is not the Sunday afternoon family tour. The trail is steep and the the soil is alot of
loose shell. I have not been on the trail since last year but it was
challenging then, I'm sure with another year of weather and another
year of light traffic the trail is getting more challenging.
Use caution and go with buddies on this one!!!
The route up to Skyline drive is similar in soil but not as steep.
More open flats. A little more user friendly.
