Mormon Rocks Interpretive
(1.0 mile, easy walk) Beginning elevation is 3360 feet. This trail was built by the Forest Service fire engine crew in 1975 to provide easy access to the many forest visitors wanting a closer look at the unique and historic Mormon Rocks (Rock Candy Mountains). These striking sandstone formations are riddled with small holes and caves; home of the owl, lizard, and pack rat. The trail begins at the Mormon Rocks fire station located on Highway 138 just west of Interstate 15. The historic Mormon Trail of the previous century passed through this valley of geological curiosity.
