The Conger Mountain OHV Trail is 60 miles southwest of the town of Delta. This is Utah’s West Desert with vast landscapes that unfold for as far as the eye can see. Notch Peak and the Sawtooth Mountains rise to an elevation of 9,300 feet to the east and the Snake Valley stretches out to the Nevada border to the west. The trail rides north out around the Conger Mountain Wilderness Study Area and back to Highway 6. We spent four hours riding the trail at 12 mph and a distance of 66 miles.
Plan on a full day for your ride to include time to get to the trailhead from Delta. The town of Delta is a great basecamp where you will find lodging, restaurants, fuel and groceries. This area of the state has incredible night skies so make plans for some stargazing and spend a night or two.
