The Abajo Mountains, or Blues as they're also referred to, are a small range topping out at the 11,362 foot Abajo Peak. They are forested with aspen and fir and in summer provide a good break from the desert conditions of lower lying areas. There are also a decent network of trails through the range for motorcycles and ATV’s. The Abajo Mountains are not well known and remain relatively uncrowded.

The Abajo Mountains are located just west of Monticello and north of Blanding, Utah in southeastern.

One of the main trails is the Shay Ridge Trail.  This trail passes through gamble oak, aspen, and alpine forests.  Traveling along this trail will take you past Foy lake and to an elevation of about 11000 feet. Breath taking views will be experienced throughout the trip.  Other trails on this map include Camp Jackson, Wagon Wheel, and Pipeline trails.

Trail 20 is excellent single track motorcycle riding requiring a moderate/advance riding skill level.  The length of the trail is approximately 50 miles.  You can reach the trail head on County Route 136.
