Pigeon Canyon Road-BLM1002

Trail Overview

Pigeon Canyon Road-BLM1002 is a 10-mile double-track road that is rated 3 of 10. Pigeon Canyon Road generally runs east/west and is located within the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. The two main features along this trail are the Upper and Lower Pigeon Springs. The upper springs are located in Gardner Canyon while the lower springs are located within Coyote Canyon. Pigeon Canyon Road-BLM1002 is usually appropriate for all high-clearance 4x4s to the Grand Gulch Mine. However, in Upper Pigeon Canyon, if the canyon has flooded, up to 6-foot-high cut banks may form across the washes and the road may be impassable until repaired. Bring a shovel if it has rained recently to knock the edge off smaller cut banks so they are passable. Several side trails lead to existing or extinct mining sites. Be careful exploring these areas, as there is old rusty metal that may damage tires. Observe and respect any no-trespassing signs and areas. There is no water, gas, food, lodging, Wi-Fi, or cell service. Visitors should be advised that towing charges in the event of vehicles becoming stuck or damaged are in the region of $3,000. Areas above 5000 feet may not be accessible in winter months due to mud and snow.
