Grandstaff Hiking Trail

From the parking area next to Utah 128, follow the obvious trail up the left side of the stream. As the canyon goes on, the trail crosses the stream a handful of times and goes up or down a some small rock ledges. Floods have washed out some parts of the trail in recent years, making it a bit tricker than it used to be, but it remains easy enough to follow.It pays to take your time, and remember to look up often to appreciate the towering sandstone walls, which are rich with colorful streaks, ripple textures, and yawning alcoves. Pause to splash in the water if the sun feels too intense, because it's worth it to make the ~1.5 miles to the natural bridge.Morning Glory Natural Bridge is located at the end of the second side canyon on the right. The trail forks just below this canyon. Follow the trail to the right, cross the stream and ascend a little slope. Morning Glory Bridge is located at the end of the trail about 0.5 miles up the canyon from the stream. It's called a natural bridge because it spans a watercourse, which in this case is a trickling spring coming out beneath the canyon wall. This bridge also happens to be one of the largest natural rock spans in the country.
