MEET UP INFORMATION:- LINE-UP: Cruise Moab HQ at Old Spanish Trail Arena
- TRAILHEAD: Follow River Rd. Left at trailhead ~7.5 miles from Kane Creek Campground. Left in clearing .1 mile. Right .1 mile. Petroglyph at 3.9 miles.
TRAIL DESCRIPTION:The trail follows Kane Creek along the bottom of its canyon (officially named Kane Springs Canyon on the maps) between its mouth at the Colorado River and Highway 191. It runs in and out of the creek - more than 50 crossings - but in one area, climbs high on the canyon wall. Wet or dry, plenty of brush grows in from the sides of the road allowing for potential paint damage. The lower portion of the canyon is narrow, tortuous, and beautiful. Farther upstream, it becomes wider, straighter, and deeper (1,000 feet), but it changes character again above the junction with Hatch Wash. There, the water is clear, the bottom is gravelly rather than sandy, and the canyon is more intimate. After a storm, the creek crossings may be impassable. Ends up south of Moab.
NOTE: We do not run this trail if it is raining, due to the possibility of flash floods.
