Description

Both Caliente and Mesquite are popular destinations for OHV enthusiasts! Located on the eastern side of the state, this network of BLM roads and trails has plenty to explore. Heading south out of Caliente is the beautiful and scenic Rainbow Canyon Road, which leads drivers through the canyon to various climbing areas and connects Kershaw-Ryan State Park with Elgin Schoolhouse State Historic Site. Beaver Dam State Park is about 33 miles East of Caliente, along Beaver Dam Road. Ella Mountain is another great scenic destination to check out, as well as sites like Flattop Mesa, Delamar Mine, and Chief Mountain.
