A very quiet, pretty and, in places, verdant canyon full of wildlife and just a few miles from the hurly burly of downtown Moab. The trailhead is close to Pritchett Canyon and it's possible to do a loop hike through both canyons, though I've not hiked it. Most people just hike out and back – a 2-5 miles roundtrip. The beginning section of the hike is shady but eventually the canyon opens up. Watch out for Hunter Arch.
​
To get to the trailhead, drive west 7.5 miles on Kane Creek Boulevard from its junction with highway 191 in downtown Moab to a small parking area.
