Trail Overview

This short trail breaks off Cactus Road, just 100 yards from the restroom and staging area, and consists mostly of fine dirt and sand that can become difficult when wet. The trail has 12+ dispersed campsites ranging from small sites to larger areas for up to 12 people, many with fire rings and excellent views of the surrounding red rocks and valley. Ruts reach 6–8 inches deep, but there are no major technical obstacles.

Difficulty

This trail is short, relatively easy to navigate, and has only moderate 6–8-inch ruts without significant obstacles. The main concern is the fine sand and dirt, which can become difficult to drive through after rain.

History

Gibbler Mountain exposes a remarkable sequence of Jurassic rock layers, including the Kayenta, Entrada, Summerville, and basal Morrison formations, preserving evidence of changing environments roughly 145–200 million years ago. The area is also known for dinosaur and pterosaur tracksites, including theropod footprints documented since the 1970s and additional tracks discovered around Gibbler Mountain in the 1990s and 2011.
