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)
