Otho Bridge

USA> Moab> Moab Valley>

Overview

hike3.0adv

This hike descends from Sand Flats Road into the North Fork of Mill Creek Canyon and visits impressive Otho Natural Bridge. Along the way are slickrock fins, dramatic rim views, cactus-filled meadows, a lush river bottom and a small tributary canyon with beautiful sandstone narrows. There's no established trail so you have to do a lot of route-finding. There's a lot of cactus and dense brush so if possible wear pants and thick-topped shoes and bring a long sleeve shell.
