Lower Hackberry Canyon Trail

03/26/25

I’ve not completed the entire hike but I’ve hiked portions of it in April and Sept. The spring is perfect for ditching the shoes and walking up the sandy creek bottom. In the fall, when the creek is dry, walking in the sand takes more effort. The walls are towering and very boldly colored in places. I was told there is a cabin in the cottonwood grove where the trail opens up but I’ve not been to it. Be careful on Cottonwood Canyon Road, it’s scenic but mostly clay so if there’s been any rain it may be impassable.

Due to the close proximity to the Escalante River, the town was flooded every year from 1883 to 1888, washing away crops and buildings. The devastation forced many families to move away, leaving only 8 families by 1892. That...

Hike to the Toadstools Hoodoos

Located just off of the side of the US-89 highway between Springdale and Page (about 40 miles east of Kanab) you'll probably drive right past this park and have to pull a u-turn (I did!), but it's worth the stop! Keep your eyes out on the North side of the highway for a little parking lot with a small sign you won't even be able to read from the road!The Toadstools are part of the Grand Stairca...

Hike to the Nautilus

Like the submarine in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, Jules Verne called it "A Masterpiece Containing Masterpieces." The Nautilus, what some say is shaped like a corkscrew or a sea shell, is a white sandstone formation with multiple colors, shapes and textures. This makes it a great place for photography. But please use caution and care when visiting this location. The sandstone is very ...
