Onion Creek ATV Trail |
||
|
Onion Creek trail is a smooth fast finish to the rougher first half of this loop, if combined with Rose Garden Hill and Top of the World Trails. This trail starts after crossing through a washed out area and turning right on the main road after descending Rose Garden Hill. |
I would imagine this trail gets its name from the sulfur fed creek running through the canyon that has changed the color of the rocks to an onion color. |
|
|
After following a wide valley for a few miles the trail quickly drops down into a tight canyon for a few miles. The unique rocks towering above are from the Dewey Formation. |
Notice the 900ft tall Fisher Towers in the center of the canyon. The tower is actually several miles away from where this picture was taken. |
|
|
The trail as it enters the part of the canyon know as the Narrows. I think the tall rock in the center of the picture is known as the Totem Pole. |
To get close to Fisher Towers turn to a lesser trail to the right as the trail comes out of the canyon and into the wider valley. Follow the lesser trail to the top of a small rise to see spot. |

Directions: As Rose Garden Hill trail ends turn right after a washed out area. Follow trail to hwy 128. To complete the loop back to the Dewey Bridge parking area you must be street legal or arrange to have some take you back to were you parked. The trail may also be access by taking Hwy 128 north until you see the signs marking the road to Onion Creek. There are several places to park and camp at near Hwy 128, there are also several vault toilets in the area. |
