About this place
Glenwood Hills is a popular off-highway riding spot in the Richfield Field Office.
The clay hills of the Arrapean formation are the main attraction. Most of the riding happens in a roughly oval area following those hills north to south.
There is hill climbing here, along with trail riding and general play riding for anyone who wants it.
Coming from the west, the way in crosses private land. Respect it.
Glenwood Hills sits close to the main facilities in the Sevier Valley, so supplies are never far away. It is in the Painted Hills formation, on the eastern flank of the valley. It covers public land west of Highway 24 and north of Highway 119.
Keep all cross country travel inside the open area boundaries, and off the ground either side of them.

Richfield is big enough that you’d normally expect fuel and somewhere to buy food. Nobody from here has been to check, so don’t count on it if you’re running low.

The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.
Thank you. A person will read it before it goes on the page.
