How does one even begin to describe Bryce Canyon? One of a kind. Something only dreamed up. Bryce is a high alpine plateau in Southern Utah, filled with pink limestone spires called Hoodoos. The colors are so vibrant they almost seem unreal. Standing on the edge and looking into the vast Sevier River valley is simply jaw-dropping! The adjacent Dixie National Forest features 4WD backcountry routes that let us reach very remote overlooks. These routes connect a hiking trail system over 80 miles long, known as the Grandview Trail. The trails are segmented loops, only accessible via these forest roads. Your tour winds through twisting forest paths and across small streams to reach the spectacular Sunset Cliffs of Bryce. While this tour does not enter Bryce Canyon National Park, it offers rare, off-the-beaten-path views that few visitors experience. (Bryce Canyon, Dixie National Forest, Kanab)

This beautiful canyon lies nestled just north of Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. The head of the canyon features a natural spring that decorates the walls with lush greenery and water seeps. You will find plenty of shade along this trail, and at your destination, as the trail ends at a massive pictograph panel tucked inside a large alcove. The route is moderately challenging and does involve some steep steps and off-camber footing. There is a very secure rock pathway with a guardrail that extends down along the side of the canyon wall. This is a beautiful section of trail but could be slow-going for some and requires good balance and self awareness. The pictograph panel is one of the largest in the immediate area, featuring unique colors and depictions of figures that aren’t found anywhere else. There is access to a section of sand dunes that can provide the opportunity to sand board as well!! Total hiking miles is .9 round trip and about 300 feet elevation change. (Zion, Bryce)
