Five Mile Pass is located about 20 miles west of Lehi, Utah on the Utah County and Tooele County line. The area, part of the Great Basin Desert is popular for motocross, off highway vehicle recreation, mountain biking, hiking, and camping. [http://www.utahmountainbiking.com/trails/fivemile.htm]

The area is managed by the Bureau of Land Management of the United States government. The Pony Express passed through the area during 1860-1861. The area also was traveled by the stagecoach and pioneer families heading west for Nevada and California. Other historical activities in the area include mineral mining and quarrying.

Due to heavy use in the area there is a lot of trash that is left behind and volunteer groups have organized to help keep the area clean. [http://www.ut.blm.gov/Volunteer/earthday2003/]
