Sept. 27, 2011 Visit to Monk's Hollow ATV Trail

This ATV trail is between Price and Salt Lake City. If coming from Salt Lake Valley, exit I-15 at exit 258 to US-6 toward Price/Manti. Go about 11.5 miles, then turn left onto Diamond Fork Rd. Diamond Campground is about 6 miles up this canyon. Go past Diamond Fork Campground about 1.5 miles, then turn right at sign that reads Diamond Fork Campground Group Site. There is a large parking lot here (A). The trail leads south to Highway 6. The altitude at the trail head is approximately 5332 feet. The trail is steep and rocky and rutted quite badly in some places. The trail ascends to about 7050 feet. We decided to turn around after we went about 8.8 miles (B). The trail ahead looked too steep and rocky to navigate very well. I think we were about 1 mile from Highway 6 when we turned around.
