About Tava'atsi Trail

Recommended Users: Equestrians, Hikers, Mountain Bikers. Two-track trail. 0.5 miles in length. Difficulty: Easy/Easiest (IMBA Trail Difficulty Rating System). Tava’atsi (pronounced ta-vats) means “two striped chipmunk” in Southern Paiute. The trail used to be a main access point into the Santa Clara/Land Hill ACEC area of the Reserve, but new subdivision construction is currently underway. There is no public access to this trail except from other trails inside the Reserve. In the future the Tava’atsi Trail will have a small trailhead at its northern terminus on land donated by the developer to the Ivins City. This trail is an old road.
