My favorite backpacking trip this year. Rangers were great resources for picking this trail. We came in over the Burr Trail switchbacks and hiked down into the canyon from there. The whole thing is 18 miles round trip around and over the Waterpocket Fold, but we opted to leave the same way we came. We were the only ones around for miles! Beautiful scenery, towering cliffs, neat caves. Highly recommend

We camped in the free dispersed camping area out of season. Greatful it was open unlike the surrounding camp areas. There were some hunter/ATV groups nearby who were driving through outlr camp. They were friendly but kind of annoying that they brought their loud vehicles around us frequently. Beautiful area, probably should take something more capable than a sedan to get here.

There used to be a lot more trees here but due to a beetle infestation a lot of them have died and been cut down. However it's still a beautiful area and fishing in the lake is great! The lake is big enough for kayaks as well. Plenty of camp spaces for RVs or just tents. Great surrounding area for four wheelers and other ATVs.
