Burr Trail

Kane County, UT

Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

The Burr Trail runs about 66–67 miles between Boulder and Bullfrog, Utah, on a nineteenth-century cattle route across Grand Staircase–Escalante, Capitol Reef National Park, and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The western stretch from Boulder is paved; the eastern dirt segment includes the switchbacks that climb the Waterpocket Fold. In dry weather passenger cars commonly complete the route; wet weather can close the dirt sections even to 4WD.
