Bonanza Flat
Located at the top of Guardsman Pass, this area comprises over 1,500 acres and is home to miles of trails, wildlife habitat, and alpine lakes. Included on this conservation easement are the award-winning Bloods Lake Trail, quaking aspen groves, and wildflowers.
SEASONAL CLOSURE INFORMATION: From October 1st to July 1st, small sections of Bonanza Loop and Tall T trails are closed for wildlife. This means that Bonanza Loop Trail cannot be used as a complete loop or to connect to Tall T during this time. All other trails in the area are open and unaffected.
Hikers still have many options, including Bloods Lake Trail, Lake Lackawaxen, Kalamazoo, Lil Quakies, and more! Both trailheads (Bloods Lake and Bonanza Flat) can provide access to these options.
We recommend that bikers seek alternatives, including trails to the east (Tricky Pickle, Heard it Both Ways, Tug of War), the north (9K, Corvair, Mid Mountain), the south (WOW, Wowza), or the west (Wasatch Crest). Riding options in Bonanza Flat are extremely limited during this time.
DOGS: Leashes Required. Please note signs in areas. Bloods Lake is a watershed area and dogs are not allowed within 100 yards of the lake itself.
