Monte Cristo Staging Area

The staging area for this trail is pretty small if you park at the entrance to Road 059 next to Highway 39. There isn't very much room, especially if you have a large trailer. Dispersed camping is allowed on Road 059 as long as it is within the boundaries of Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. You must be careful, though, because this area is a patchwork of private property interspersed within the national forest. Heed the signs along the road. If it says it's private property, don't park or ride your ATVs there! Wait until you see signs saying you are entering back into the national forest. We parked next to Road 059 and unloaded our ATVs just south of Arbs Basin. Arbs basin is about 5 miles north on Road 059.

Staging area Just off State Route 39 to Monte Cristo Area, Ogden Ranger District
Staging Area Just off SR 39

Just past this staging area are signs that say you are entering private property. Make sure you stay on the main road through these properties. Private property owners are allowing us to go through their land to access the national forest. Please don't abuse that privilege.
