Grotto Falls trail

B-E-A-UTIFUL!!! And easy, almost too easy. The trail is quite well constructed. I went last week (mid-may), cool but not cold. A fair amount of traffic and a bit of litter on the trail ( yes, I picked up what I could. I didn't have a bag.), but still definitely stunning. Only wish my battery didn't die on me, I wanted more pictures!!

Little Wild Horse - Bell Canyon Trail

This is one of the most incredibly hikes I have been on. The canyons are gorgeous, and fun. This is one hike that the kids really loved and didn't complain about 'having' to do. Early morning is better as it get hot really fast, especially half way through, when you have to hike 1.6 miles through the desert. Most defiantly worth it.

I have been on moderate marked trails that were easier than this one. I liked it. The falls were nice although I don't think we made it all the way... there was still trail left.

Desolation Trail to Salt Lake Overlook

This is a great trail to do when it is really hot outside - almost fully shaded and so close to SLC. There is no water on the trail so make sure to bring your own.

It was a bit warmer than we expected, be sure to bring plenty to drink. The sand does make it a bit more of a workout, and it kept filling my shoes - so i gave them up and went barefoot on the return hike. The falls are beautiful! And everything was so green! Fish in the creek, deer along the path, big birds in flight and great scenery!!

Quick, easy hike. Many people on the trail. Great views of the canyon and the mist felt good today in the hot sun. I would recommend this trail if you are looking for a quick hike or if you don't have very much time on your hands.

I could not find anything that even remotely looked like the start of a hiking trail. It is farmland with nearby buildings and nothing to indicate a nearly 3000 ft elevation gain. This is my first try using this site. I am not giving up. I am new to this area and want to explore what is around me.

Professor Creek

Professor Creek/Mary Jane Canyon is one of my favorite hikes in the Moab area. The hiker trail follows Professor Creek up the narrowing canyon to a chokestone waterfall that is impassable. There is an exit route from the canyon that allows you to hike around the chokestone and back into the canyon.

I have the waterfall at just over 4 miles out from the parking lot. My calculations can be off. We have reached the waterfall in about 2 hours with a direct route up the creek, or about 3.5 hours with exploring the several feeder canyons.

Canyon walls provide shade, and the creek is shallow and cool. I wear light boots and kept them dry until just before the waterfall. The canyon starts wide and ends at the chokestone falls very narrow.
