Paiute Trail Questions
#11
Talk about identical trips. We are also going to be riding / camping Monday through Thursday. I was thinking that we could do the bottom half of the loop. Head out to the Barney lake area, explore the trails around there, then head south eventually ending up northwest of Marysvale at the Indian meuseum.
My question is, Right now we're going clock wise. Is there any reason we should do this trip in reverse, counter clockwise? We are going to camp along the trail.
Thanks for any feedback you can offer.

We do hope to use previous camp dispersed camp sites that have fire rings. I personally don't have a preference about the fire other than it's nice to have with a bourbon. Planning on using a little MSR camp stove, with dried food, so fires are just for atmosphere.
Since you have also ridden the area, I was thinking that Cottonwood Basin (trail 34) might be an ok place to camp for a night. It has some wooded areas. Anyone recall this area and have any advice for camping between Circleville and Sawmill Ridge?

Circling back to this thread because my first Paiute trip is about a month away. Yes, you can disperse camp in any national forest. Most have limitation like x amount a feet from the road is allowed.

The best I can tell you about Circleville is that the gas station wasn't open when we were there last year in August. There was gas in Junction which is the next town north of Circleville. The nearest gas I can see from the map to the Fremont Indian Museum area is in Marysvale to the south or in Joseph to the north. If you're bringing your own machines I'd highly recommend getting a flat gas can like Rotopax.

Now I need to plan a detour to Junction if the owner of the motel isn't there.

Definitely, I'll be carrying 4 gallons in rotopax. Wow, this really is a factor though to how much side trail exploring we can do. I just phoned the Butch Cassidy Hideout motel and hideout. They have fuel we can purchase there.
