Trail Overview

Get to the canyon from Price Road for the easiest route. If you want a more technical experience, enter from Mineral Mountain Road. There is a bypass option that will help you avoid a challenging obstacle in the bottom of the canyon.

Difficulty

Moderate: A few large roundedoff boulders that require careful tire placement. Aggressive stock SUVs with good ground clearance can do it. Don't enter canyon if heavy rain is expected. Dangerous flash floods are possible.
