Bartlett West Rim

USA> Moab> Bartlett>

Overview

hike3.3adv

This hike follows the west rim of Bartlett Canyon. You'll enjoy hours exploring a high slickrock shelf with continuous views, dramatic clifftop terrain, domes and gullies, salmon-hued sandstone, Bartlett Bridge and a fun sense of adventure. The rim is mostly open and smooth. About midway you'll negotiate a series of alcoves, one of which hosts a large eroding arch where the rim pinches down to a 1 m (3 ft) exposed ledge with loose debris. Use your judgment and turn back if you're not comfortable.
