Features Commonly Backpacked · Geological Significance · Views

Though many visitors will use this trail as an entry or exit for a backpacking trip through Coyote Gulch, the trail is a great day hike option by itself. There isn't too much strenuous elevation gain/loss and the tread is relatively easy along grippy slickrock. Wayfinding is aided by large cairns and a good line of sight makes it relatively easy to know you're at least headed in the right direction. Unsurprisingly, this area can get unbearably hot depending on season and time of day, and there isn't any access to water so make sure to plan accordingly.
