Headquarters Canyon Trail

The trailhead is less than a mile from the Burr Trail Switchback intersection. There is parking across the road from the trailhead. The trail is marked with a wood sign and cuts across the desert. Great views of Waterpocket Fold as you travel toward the canyon.The is a narrow slot early on in the canyon which is very nice but short lived. Soon the canyon opens back up with a lot of vegetation on the canyo floor. At the end of this trail is a steep ramp and small drop off. Most people turn back here. It is possible to climb up further. The return may be a little difficult. Not recommended for a solo traveler past this point. This canyon sees very little traffic so if assistance is needed, you could be in for a long wait.
