    One of the Most scenic hikes ever. Not too difficult, but long. Worth it though! Take plenty of water.

    This 11 mile loop has everything; narrow canyons, grasslands, towering needles of rock, and some rock scrambling. We had a blast. Did it with our 18 month old in her back carrier with no issues.

    Did this hike on a Saturday in late September. Got to the trailhead around 7:30 am and we were one of the first few cars there. The trail eventually got a little busier, but it never felt crowded by any means. Took about 5.5 hours to do the 11+ mile loop (including a 30 minute stop), but it never seemed overly difficult. The trail is well marked overall. A few tricky spots along the way, but those spots are a lot of fun to navigate. The landscape is just stunning! Definitely one of the highlights of our nearly week-long trip to Moab. I'd highly recommend putting this hike on your list.
