Thirteen Mile Loop 2.0

Drive an easy, scenic loop through the western part of the Logandale Trails System.  Arches, petroglyphs and an abandoned check dam.

The Logandale Trails System contains over 200 miles of trails, suitable for a variety of OHV types, as well as hiking and horseback riding.

There are trails for regular Jeeps, plus an area of extreme trails close to the entrance staging area.  We watched buggies play around on the obstacles.

​This trail is described in a counterclockwise direction, but it can easily be driven in either direction.

There is a GPS - gpx track file at the bottom of the page.

Northern end of loop

Driving along the western edge of the loop gives nice views of rugged rock formations.

​What do you see in this rock formation?  A turtle, a seal or "just another rock"?  Near the southern end of the loop.

Name this rock

The south end of this loop is in Overton Wash, a major drainage for the area.  Climb out of the wash and head north on smoother roads.

Out of Overton Wash

The trail drops into the upper part of Weber Wash and turns sharply southwest.  Shortly after this is an option to climb up onto what we are calling Weber Knob (it does not actually have a name).  There is both a normal road and a much steeper road to the top.  Nice views from the up there.

It is easy to drive by the next group of attractions.  Use the waypoint to stop where the trail turns to the north.

​Petroglyphs and a small arch are immediately visible.
