The Nautilus
1.36m / 92' AEG
Nice easy hike to start the trip. To and through the Nautilus and then a bit of exploring on the way back. A good leg stretcher after a long drive.
Paria River Rimrock Toadstools
2.21m / 241' AEG
And out and back trails takes you to a little valley and flat area. This was much better than I expected. The toad stools were quite interesting, as were the surrounding formations.
Yellow Rock
3.0m 951'AEG
The first half mile of this is in a Canyon the mostly dry Cottonwood Creek. You make a start sharp turn and start climbing up a steep and sometimes loose canyon. We were lucky enough to have the sun peek out to light up Yellow Peak for a bit. Good views from up top and many different ways to return to the TH.

Cottonwood Canyon Narrows
2.99m / 250' AEG
We made a clockwise loop starting from the South Cottonwood Narrows Canyon trailhead. It's a nice easy hike going through the canyon. We hit up a side canyon which was a worthy stop.
Grosvenor Arch
.51m / 100'AEG
A worthy very small hike if you are in the area
We were lucky with the weather the first day. Cottonwood Canyon road can be slippery after a rain. It'd rained the day before, but was dry enough for our travels. We only got sprinkled on once while hiking. |
