Is there a place to park and turn around a large trailer by the Woodruff gate? We are going over to Bear Lake for a few days and want to access Monte Cristo from Woodruff. Thanks.
Monte Cristo from Woodruff
- Thread starter sdmc
- Start date
There is a small parking lot that a few trailers can fit in at the gate. My in-laws live in Randolph and when I was there last week there was no snow in Randolph or Woodruff. The gate really isn't up that high so I bet if you unloaded there you would have a fair amount of asphalt before you hit snow.
IMHO the riding up any of the canyons along Bear Lake (Logan, Fish Haven, Bloomington, Paris) is far superior to the riding at Monte. Plus a lot closer.

We are meeting some guys coming over from the Ogden side and plan to go to Arb's basin. Can you get over there from Randolph ( old or new canyon) or Round Valley? If so is there any place to park a 27' trailer and turn around? We are going to stay in a cabin on Bear Lakes East side. The trip is the end of the month. Eubank said the high pressure should be gone end of next week and a series of storm systems will come our way.

There isn't any parking up old or new canyon. Most years you cant get much past the resivior with a trailer. Most of the locals in Randolph just ride from the houses. You can get to Arbs but you need to know the way. There isn't a real direct route. If there is snow Woodruff would be much much easier
Thank you! I ride old and new in the summer a lot to hit Gators. I heard there are sled access trails over by sweet water. Have you ever tried them?

The east side parking lot on SR39 about 12 miles from Woodruff is big enough for your trailer to turn around in. The hwy usually has enough on it to get to <?xml:namespace prefix = "st1" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

The entire way is groomed, occasionally.
