Trail Overview

Spectacular 17 mile route through iconic desert spires, buttes, and formations. Think Monument Valley that you can actually drive right next to the monuments and wild camp - for free. This route is not hard, but you MUST pay attention to weather - if it rains, it flashes very easily and you can be stuck in here for up to a week.
