Bates Canyon Road is an old mining road that is closed to motor traffic. The lower section of this road-turned-trail passes through the open fields and foothills of the northern Oquirrh Mountains, below Bates and Nelson Peaks and is surrounded by a dense network of other trails. Bates Canyon Road is a scenic, open trail with few-to-no trees and therefore great panoramic views of the mountains and Tooele. This is a popular spot with hikers, runners, dog-walkers, and mountain bikers.
