Out and back trails, hike as far as you want and turn around
*Lower Hackberry Canyon – a walk through a canyon with a stream that runs at certain times of the year, at times more green due to increased water flow
Buckskin Gulch – the longest and deepest slot canyon in the southwest, at 20 miles, this stunning trail features canyon walls showing the extraordinary layers of the Colorado Plateau, the beginning of the hike is in a wide open canyon and as you progress the canyon narrows to a slot canyon
Paria River Valley Trail & Townsite – walk through the extraordinary multicolored mountain range, you will be blown away by the purple and pink hues of the layered rock
Hoodoo Toadstools – a short walk from the parking lot off Highway 89, you’ll find yourself in the land of giant mushrooms, rock carved by years of water and wind
Thousand Pockets – a unique walk through a bizarre landscape of many large and small stone pockets where water collects and forms pools, getting there requires serious off-road driving
MARBLE CANYON
White Pockets – other-wordly surreal landscape of unique rock formations in white, tan and vibrant orange, a walk in this area will leave you feeling like you’re on another planet, requires a 4WD to get there
*River Trail – this scenic two mile walk along the banks of the Colorado River departs from Lees Ferry, the views of the red Vermillion Cliffs, a bit of green oasis and the deep blue of the Colorado River are mesmerizing. Follow directions to Spencer Trailhead, but continue low level beside the Colorado River, do not take trails leading up the cliff.
*Spencer Trailhead – this hike is for those who are seeking a challenging, very steep ascent, but the reward is panoramic views of the meandering Colorado River and its surrounding desert landscape (2 mile route, 1,600 ft elevation, round trip takes 3 hours)
*Cathedral Wash Trail – A fun short streneous gradual descent, first through a sandy wash, then through deep canyon and finally ending on Colorado River. This hike requires both upper and lower body physical movements, as you need to navigate small drops and ledges with your upper body and hands (3 miles roundtrip)
