Factory Butte is, simply put, a dirt bikers paradise. Often referred to as "swingarm city", the open play area is ideal for dirt bike riding of all types. Some of the steep, narrow trails tend to be not as well suited to 4 wheel 
vehicles although we found it to be fun as well. There is enough wide open area to accommodate many different styles and types. This area is located near Caineville Utah, about 14 miles NorthWest of Hanksville. 
The area has been featured in many freeride videos such as FMX Riot II. You won't find much vegatation here, just excellent soil and terrain that seems soft enough to be forgiving, but solid enough to hold up to the impacts of a bike. If you ride a dirt bike, you will love this area. Goblin Valley is also a fun place to visit and is close by. Check out our trip reports as well as our video and photo section for more pictures and footage of the area. GPS coordinates are 38.364995,-110.913441
Pay close attention to the open play area that is designated roughly by the shaded area on the map above as there has been recent closures limiting travel beyond these points. The boundaries are plainly marked. There are efforts in effect to open more, staying within the current boundaries will aid in these efforts. Camping within the open area is permitted.
