Directions:

From Salt Lake City, travel south (approximately 85 miles) on Interstate 15 to Exit 225. Turn right and take State Highway 132 toward Nephi. Continue west from Nephi on State Highway 132 for about 13 miles, then northwest for 9 miles on Juab County Route 1812 to Jericho Junction. The entrance road to Little Sahara is 4 miles west of Jericho Junction. There is a visitor center near the pay station at the entrance.

Little Sahara Recreation Area is a designated and managed off-highway vehicle (OHV) open area. It features 60,000 acres of sand dunes, trails, and sagebrush flats. The main attraction is a system of giant, free-moving sand dunes that creates a constantly changing playground for dirt-bikes, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and sand rails (steel-tubed enclosed sand vehicles).

Sand Mountain, a wall of sand climbing nearly 700 feet, is the primary focal point for hill climbing. The sand dunes on the northern side of Sand Mountain is the recreation area with numerous bowls and trails to ride.” The low-lying dunes southwest of Black Mountain provide good terrain for beginners or for those who just want to get away from the crowds. Black Mountain provides a network of dirt trails up, over, and around a peak, offering excellent trail riding for just about any kind of OHV. 

The dune area West of Sand Mountain can be accessed multiple ways: going over Sand Mountain, riding the trail South of Sand Mountain or from the Northern dune section of Sand Mountain.  These dunes are deep large bowls.  This area is unforgiving.  If you bike breaks down in the bottom of a large bowl you will need a ATV or skilled dirt bike rider to toll you out.  Paddle tires are a blast in this area.

 There is a use fee of $8.00 per day with the exception of Easter, Memorial Day, and Labor Day weekends when the fee is $10.00 per day. Annual permits may be purchased for $75.

 Utah OHV sticker are required and you will be ticketed ($40.00).  I have been ticketed for no flag and expired stickers so be current.
