| partners | | This one was surprisingly incredible. I had done no research and only knew that 9L wanted to check this out. What a pleasant surprise to find an extraordinarily constructed trail through incredible geology and amazing views!
The river is a worthy destination, but what makes this hike most enjoyable is simply admiring how the trail was built as you zig zag through the numerous layers of geology between the rim and the river. Like other historic trails, it's truly a pleasure to envision the original builders as they mapped out the best route and solved the puzzle.
A few miles outside of Mexican Hat, this is in the middle of nowhwere, but I enjoyed it so much that I could absolutely see myself stopping here while driving by just to hike this one again, and I'd recommend as much to anybody else who can squeeze a few hours out of their travels through southeastern Utah. |
