Harris Mountain-BLM28-KC1400

Harris Mountain-BLM28-KC1400 is a 4.4-mile point-to-point trail within the Parunuweap Canyon Wilderness Study Area rated 3 out of 10 due to the potential for deep sand. Whether traveling east or west on this trail, it will rise to the midpoint which is Harris Mountain. Along the way, there are vistas of cliffs of Zion National Park. The trail crosses scrub brush flats and as the trail gains elevation, junipers and pinyon pines surround the trail. The main landmarks in and directly south of the southern portion of the WSA are Harris Mountain and Elephant Butte. Springs and plant life concentrate animals in the area. Mule deer are common and may be seen just after sunrise and just before sunset. Many kinds of hawks, eagles, and other birds can also be seen in the area. This area is remote and there are no services of any type. The closest services are in Kanab.
