Mona Pole

The Mona Pole Trail was the perfect family friendly trail for our Saturday trail ride. We all gathered together on a Saturday in July 2006 at the TeraFlex PLUS shop in Murray around 7:30 a.m. The drive to Mona was about an hour long on I-15 Southbound. We took the Mona Exit #233 and followed the signs for the Young Living Family Farm which led us to the Cement Plant there in Mona. From the cement plant we headed South up a dirt trail where we found the trail post for the Mona Pole Trail.

The terrain was slightly rocky and began a slow climb through the mountain, which is where the four wheel drive becomes necessary. You’ll want to watch the heat of your engine because the climb caused a few rigs to overheat. The scenery was lovely with plenty of trees and a canyon feeling. Once at the top of the trail, where the trail forks, we headed left, parked our vehicles, and hiked into an old Silver Mine. It was incredibly dark with cool air so taking a flashlight and maybe a sweater is highly recommended.

Following that we had lunch and then half of us headed back down the Mona way to get back to the trucks and trailers, while the other half went out the Payson way. The scenery was a high light of the whole trip and by taking the Payson way out we were able to ride along the top of the hill for a while before heading down past Payson Lakes and into Payson.

The Mona Pole Trail would be rated about a 2+ and can be driven in about 4 hours. We all had a lot of fun with the family and friends of TeraFlex PLUS and we highly recommend this trail.

The trail clean up crew followed close behind us to clean up the trail. We like to recommend to all jeepers the pack in pack out theory so that we can continue to have use of these trails. Do your part to help keep our trails open.
