Trail Overview

The Hotel Rock trail starts 90 miles south of Moab so prepare for highway driving or stage at the trailhead. The route passes through desert with beautiful mountain views. Once you hit the trail, expect dirt and rock, sandy washes and steep rock climbs. Make sure to download the map on your phone so you can view fuel stops. The Hotel Rock feature, which is an old Anasazi lookout, can be found on Little Baullie Mesa. Be respectful of archeological sites and tread lightly.

Trail obstacles are in some cases 8-10’ tall steep rock climbs up steep cliffs (front tires in the air) and a few 3-5’ steep descents, but so long as you pick a good line then it’s not too hard. Note, this pic is of a rock that washed up along the access road between Arch Canyon Camp and the Hotel Rock trailhead.
