Poison Spring Canyon

Trail Overview

Poison Springs Canyon is a rough, rarely used road so come prepared, carry extra gas, don't travel alone, and check water flow rates for Dirty Devil River before traveling. The road descends to Dirty Devil River through windy, high canyon walls. Once on the valley floor you'll follow the wash bottoms before climbing toward Sunset Pass. Enjoy beautiful views of Gunsight Butte on the climb. No unlicensed vehicles in Glen Canyon NRA.
