• Grandstaff Canyon Trail - Up ahead is the Grandstaff Canyon Trail. This moderately challenging hike spans approximately 5 miles and takes nearly an hour to complete. If you have the opportunity, it’s well worth it — the trail concludes at a stunning natural bridge over 200 feet in length.

Note: The tour covers over 61 miles, includes more than 45 audio stories, and takes about 2-3 hours to finish.

Purchase once and enjoy for a year! Perfect for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

• Take Out Beach - Approaching soon is Take Out Beach. As you near, you might see paddle rafts, tubes, and kayaks drifting down the river. This section of the Colorado River is the most floated in Utah! If you have a boat or flotation device, it’s an excellent spot to enjoy the water.
• Petrified Sand Dunes - It was mentioned that the red stone forming the walls of most formations is called Wingate Sandstone. But did you know this type of rock was once sand?

Here’s the story: 200 million years ago, winds from the northwest brought tons of fine-grained sand here. The sand spread out, forming dunes and settling into the shallow sea. The wind continually reshaped the sand, eventually piling other sediments on top. Water also transported these rocks and minerals, depositing them over the sand.

• Hauer Ranch (Moab Horses) - An optional detour to Hauer Ranch is coming up. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the ranch, where you can see some famous filming locations and even ride a horse!

• Parriott Mesa - To the left, there’s a massive sandstone mesa – hard to miss. That’s Parriott Mesa, extending over a mile. Although it’s a long mesa, it’s quite narrow. At its narrowest, it measures only 350 feet. Geologically, this makes it closer to a butte than a mesa.

• Castle Valley - The burst of green ahead indicates the approach to Castle Valley. Its lush greenery comes from water flowing down from the surrounding rocks, but the valley’s origin is actually salt!

• Castleton Tower - To the left is a summit resembling a giant thumb. Do you see it? That’s Castleton Tower, the first major tower climbed by Americans in the area.

• Round Mountain - Notice the squat gray mountain ahead on the right? That’s Round Mountain. Quite a creative name, right? Wondering why it’s not red like the surrounding formations? It’s because it’s made of LAVA! The story began 24 million years ago. Around that time, magma was trying to bubble up from the earth, creating laccolithic mountains. The magma did escape in a few places, like here at Round Mountain, but it didn’t travel far.

• La Sal Lookout Point - Approaching La Sal Lookout Point, which offers a magnificent view of the mesas and buttes along the Colorado River. From this viewpoint, certain rock formations are more visible than from the road. Look out for the Courthouse Towers, two towering stone columns. They’re not named after a courthouse but after skyscrapers in New York City.

• Warner Lake - An optional detour to Warner Lake is approaching, a secluded lake just five miles off our path. If you’re up for a quick swim or some fishing, this is a great detour, only a 20-minute drive from here.

• Oowah Lake - A detour for Oowah Lake is coming up, just a 15-minute drive from here. If you enjoy a good hike with a spectacular reward, lace up your boots because the Oowah Lake to Clarks Lake Trail offers scenic views of the Canyonlands region below. Like Warner Lake, this lake is stocked with rainbow trout, providing excellent fishing opportunities.

• Geyser Pass Road - To the left are three mountains. The leftmost is Mount Mellenthin at 12,645 feet. In the center is Mount Peale, the highest peak at 12,726 feet. To the right is Mount Tukuhnikivatz, at 12,482 feet. These are the tallest peaks of the La Sal Mountains. While we’re admiring the mountains, some adventurers have skied them! But how do they get there?

• Ken’s Lake - Coming up is the turn for Ken’s Lake and Faux Falls. But what is a faux waterfall? Can a waterfall be fake? In reality, Faux Falls is genuine; it’s just man-made by diverting water from the nearby lake. It’s definitely worth seeing! There’s also a swimming hole at the base of the waterfall, though it’s only three feet deep, so it’s more like a wading pool.
