Trail Overview

This is called Diana's Throne because, if you pay attention to the skyline, at the right angles, the mountains depict a woman's bust laying down. Diana is the greek goddess of the hunt, and this is a popular area for canyoneering, with the Huntress and Hunted slot canyons in the area. You can hike a good portion of the Huntress without gear, and it is is beautiful. There are some steep climbs, and a couple of tight spots that full size rigs may have difficulty with. There are also some loose, sandy climbs on part of the trail.

Difficulty

There are spots where the breakover angle and steep grades will make you appreciate a spotter. These angles will make approach/departure angle a concern for most stock 4x4s.

Took west to east. That’s the best for viewing “Diana”. The west 2/3 is easy but very soft sand and keep some speed in the turns or you may hit the steep walls. The east 1/3 is very difficult as you drop into the red canyon/valley. I’m on 33”s with a 2.5” level, if you have anything less, turn around before the canyon! I scraped all my armor multiple times. I got stuck 3 times in the canyon area. It’s very tight and was hard to maneuver my truck to get better lines. The end is definitely more of jeep trail or you better have really good approach and departure angles with big tires. I had to bridge with traction boards not to scrape my front bumper a few times. I got stuck once because I didn’t have a locker and got lucky there was something to winch from. The final hill is very difficult (circled in red) and is easy to miss. I had clearance and grip issues with the first part of the hill and had to winch with about 120 feet of rope. Then I was in 4lo the rest of it. After that it’s easy.
