Crosby Canyon: Crosby Canyon Video
White rocks scoured by flash floods is what meets your eye in Crosby Canyon. The interesting shapes and smooth surfaces lead your vehicle, 2-wheel drive or otherwise, toward Lake Powell and through landscapes that look so alien you would think yourself on another planet. This fact has actually been used effectively in several Hollywood productions that turned the very real environment of Crosby into something you would think of as pure fantasy. |
Dinosaur Raceway: Dinosaur Raceway Video There are few things in this world that are millions of years old (other than rocks that is), so when you find something that old it really is worth taking notice. South of Coral Pink Sand Dunes is a section of rock imprinted with thousands of dinosaur tracks from over 65 million years ago. Visitors are invited to ride ATVs or four-wheel drives out to the area and hike around, exploring a world that reminds us we weren’t the first to walk through the deserts of the southwest. |
Hog Canyon: Hog Canyon Video Just a couple miles north of Kanab you can find one of the most beautiful trails in the entire state of Utah. It’s also one of the most difficult. Hog Canyon is a playground for jeeps and ATVs that pushes the limits of skill and endurance. The trail system also includes areas for novice riders, hikers and horsemen, but the main draw has always been the steep sandy slopes that bring off-roaders from around the world. |
Lost Dutchman: Lost Dutchman Video
Coal was one of the life forces for Kane County in the old days and many mine still dot the landscape. Few are in any condition that make them of historic interest, but Kane Counties Lost Dutchman Mine is one of them. Lost for decades, this mine was rediscovered by ranchers who stumbled upon it in practically perfect condition. The hike is easy and it is a reminder of the lives that worked these hills over a century ago. |
Mail Drop: Mail Drop Video This ATV trail takes riders through some of the beautiful lands of Kane County and to the edge of history. Mail Drop got it’s name because this is where pioneers would get their mail, dropped from the top of the canyon on a pulley system. Today much of the area is private property, but the public trails still get close to the actual spot and your ATV trip along this loop will be one to remember. |
Montezuma's Cave: Montezuma's Cave Video Ever wanted to find a treasure map and go in search of buried riches? Well that has always been the legend of Montezuma’s Cave: Aztec kings hid mountains of gold inside the natural caves of Kane County. While many have searched for it the only treasure to be found is the adventure and thrill of exploration. These caves can be hiked and explored through a world of supreme beauty. Roads make the area accessible by ATV or on foot and the trip itself is worth the time. |
Peek-A-Boo Canyon: Peek-A-Boo Canyon Video If you look on a map for Peek-a-Boo Canyon and you’re confused because you can’t find it, don’t worry, there’s a good reason for that. Locals have always called this ribbon cut in the rock ‘Peek-a-Boo,’ but its official name is actually Red Canyon. Peek-a-Boo is a great short hike through a slot canyon that introduces visitors to a cathedral of rock that puts anything man made to shame, and gives a glimpse of Native American toe-holes that allowed early residents to climb quickly out of the Canyon. |
Smokey Mountain: Smokey Mountain Video You would think you were standing on the top of a volcano except for the fact that the calderas are small and there is no lava. That’s really the only difference. Smokey Mountain’s name really says it all. Overlooking almost the whole of the Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument, this peak of unearthly fumes bellows smoke in the air from an underground coal fire. |
