Little Canyon Flank

USA> Moab> Moab North>

Overview

hike2.5adv

This hike traces faded roads perched high up the flank of Little Canyon. You'll enjoy quiet canyons, colorful geology, soaring sandstone cliffs, continuous views and hours of exploration through seldom-visited terrain. The road's two main branches end at satisfying viewpoints at the Moab Rim overlooking Highway 191. The long-abandoned roads are heavily eroded and partially overgrown. it's mostly easy walking but you'll have to dodge many small obstacles and route-find your way through some vague stretches.
