Navajo Knobs Out and Back

This trail beings at the !Hickman Bridge trailhead. Follow the trail through about 3 switchbacks as it continues on a steep ascent. You'll reach an intersection with the Hickman Bridge Trail only about a quarter of a mile or less into the trail. At this junction, keep right for the Rim Overlook Trail and Navajo Knobs Trail.The midpoint overlook, known as Radio Tower spur, offers a good break spot halfway up the trail. I recommend stopping here for a bit. Just past this point the trail dips slightly and follows the cliff and provides an amazing continuous view the rest of the way up. While it does follow the cliff line, this is by no means a narrow trail at all. You'll have plenty of space and good footing.You'll follow this rim until you come to a small canyon or drainage. You may have slight difficulty in following the trail, as one might think you would continue straight; however just go left to contour around the edge as it bends, giving you a full view of the trail you were just on.When you approach the Knobs, it can be difficult to find the trail. The trail to the top of the Knobs approaches from the northeast and may be a bit of a short scramble for most people. Enjoy the 360-degree views looking out onto the Waterpocket Fold and the Henry Mountains. Quiet hikers may also get lucky with a bighorn sheep sighting along the upper reaches of this trail!
