Saucer Basin
Saucer Basin is a hidden gem. It has only recently been gaining a reputation for some spectacular mountain biking and is being sought out as an alternative to the crowded slickrock trails elsewhere in the state.
The sandstone and mudstone outcrop features rolling hills and pockets perfect for experimenting with bike moves. OHV and dirt bike riders are welcome as well, within designated areas.
For rockhounds, this is an excellent destination for seeking out colorful varieties of chert, a fine-grained sedimentary rock that is perhaps best known for being used to fashion stone tools by many native populations.
