Trail Overview

This trail is definitely one of the more challenging ones in the area, especially for vehicles. At the entrance is the Grafton Mesa trailhead. Mountain bikers and hikers use this trail as well. For vehicles, it's a narrow, out-and-back trail. The first mile or so is easy with a few primitive camp spots tucked in the trees. Beyond that, it becomes much more technical, with several steep grades and large rocky ledges to navigate. High clearance and 4WD are required. The trail dead-ends at the plateau's edge, with stunning overlooks of the Southside of Zions National Park canyon. Summer months will reach triple-digit temperatures - plan accordingly with plenty of water.
