The Moab Dump Trail

The Moab Dump Trail follows along the cliffs past the dump east of town. I'm pretty sure this is what Castleton calls the Norman Site. Castleton v.1, p.197.

To get to the trailhead, drive south through town on US-191 until you get to 300 South. Turn left on 300 South and drive four blocks to 400 East. Turn right on 400 East and drive two blocks to South Mill Creek Drive. There is a sign for the Sand Flats Recreational area and the Slickrock Bike Trail. Stay on Mill Creek Drive until you come to a stop sign. At the intersection, stay straight. The road turns into Sand Flats Road. Stay on Sand Flats Road for about 1.3 miles until you see a turnout to park.
