This is a series of 7 trails ("Magnificent 7") which make up a new (mostly) single-track incarnation of the classic Gemini Bridges shuttle descent. The seven trails are: Bull Run, Arth's Corner, Little Canyon, Gold Bar, Golden Spike, Poison Spider and Portal. Gold Bar is 1.2 miles of singletrack and 2.3 miles of 4x4 road. Golden Spike is 5.2 miles of nasty 4x4 road. Poison Spider is 7.4 miles of rough, churned up 4x4 road. Choose your poison. The singletrack at the upper end (including a loop called the "Great Escape") are great fun and make any inconvenience totally worth it. The attached GPS map suggests a variation of singletrack down to the end of "Little Canyon," then take the "Gold Bar Rim 4x4 back to Gemini Bridges Road to it's lower terminus (and where you want your shuttle vehicle to be waiting).
This is best done as a shuttle run to the upper end of Gemini Bridges Road. Take US 191 north to Utah 313 (the road to Dead Horse Point). Follow Utah 313 for about 12.5 miles to the Gemini Bridges Road turnoff to your left (less than a mile past the Mineral Bottom turnoff). You can start your ride here or continue driving down Gemini Bridges Road for a little over a mile to the TH for Bull Run.
