The Escalante River Trailhead is the starting point for one of Utah’s most beautiful hikes. From here, the trail follows the Escalante River through a stunning canyon filled with tall cliffs, red rock walls, and desert plants. Hikers can enjoy peaceful walks along the water, cross the river several times, and discover hidden arches, side canyons, and ancient rock art along the way. The trail can be as short or as long as you like, making it great for both casual hikers and those seeking multi-day backpacking trips.
