While in Green River, consider completing this loop hike too. This loop hike has a distance of over eight miles and an elevation gain of under 800 feet. Those in the know suggest giving yourself at least five hours so that you can enjoy the easily accessible and striking slot canyons here.
Some travel writers say that Little Wild Horse Canyon is the better of the two canyons on what some call a “classic Southern Utah experience.” If you are not feeling so athletic and choose to hike only one of the two canyons, go for Little Wild Horse. It’s pretty easy and there are no surprises. Camp nearby and save one for the next day!
Have you ever noticed how much there is to do in and around Moab? This loop trail hike is yet another recommended activity. The total distance here hiking the “Grand Canyon” of Utah is a good five miles and the elevation gain is 928 feet.
Mind you, experienced hikers suggest that if you’re up to a hike of almost ten miles, you should choose to extend the hike by adding the various lookout points. If, however, you’re interested in the lookout points but not feeling energetic, you can cut out the portion where the East and West rims of the trail meet. It’s a tad touristy anyway.
