Overview

hike3.5adv

This satisfying hike loops around the rim of Gruvers Mesa. You'll enjoy hours of slickrock, colorful geology, potholes and gullies, cliffs, The Cone and continuous views of the vast San Rafael Desert. The rim is mostly smooth and open but a few obstacles may require exploration and careful scrambling. Vertical exposure can mostly be avoided by switching between higher or lower levels of the rim. This can be a fun adventure if you enjoy exploration and pristine wilderness with few signs of human presence.
