Moab

Hiking activities in Moab

  1. Negro Bill Canyon Trail

    The moderately easy trail includes a 2.5-mile walk along a stream. (The totally politically incorrect canyon name refers to a prospector who grazed his cows here in the 1800s.) Scoot down a shaded side canyon to find petroglyphs, then continue to the 243ft-wide Morning Glory Natural Bridge, at a box canyon. Plan on three to four hours.

  2. La Sal Mountains

    To escape summer's heat, head up Hwy 128 to the Manti–La Sal National Forest lands in the mountains east of Moab and hike through white-barked aspens and ponderosa pines.

  4. Corona Arch Trail

    To see petroglyphs and two spectacular arches, hike the moderately easy 3-mile, two-hour walk. You may recognize Corona from a well-known photograph showing an airplane flying through it – this is one big arch.
