Devil's Garden

The formations are consolidated in one area, and social trails crisscross throughout. You can see most of the highlights in under one hour and with less than a mile of hiking. This place is something of a natural playground. Kids will love scrambling on rock slabs and exploring the many nooks and crannies between. Photographers will appreciate the visuals of light and shadow, and anyone can enjoy feeling mesmerized by the natural sculptures.Notable figures in the garden include Metate Arch, Mano Arch, and the Four Wise Men. Numerous others are unnamed, but each has a certain charisma all its own. Spend time viewing the rocks from all angles and decide what you think each should be called. The shapes look especially spooky at night, when the sky over this remote desert mystifies with stars or moonlight. Reached in a short drive from Escalante, !Devil's Garden can make a quick side trip, an exciting nighttime excursion, or pleasant afternoon outing.
