This hike makes a grand loop around Upheaval Dome, a dramatic crater-shaped formation. Along the way are big views, sheer red cliffs, canyon junctions, groves of cottonwood trees, pretty washes and a narrow breach in an orange sandstone wall. An optional side spur leads to the center of the crater filled with colorful, twisted geology. The return portion of the loop feels longer and harder than expected, so bring plenty of food and water and skip the side spur if you prefer a shorter hike.
