Hunter Canyon

Utah > Southeast Utah > Kane Springs Canyon
Warning Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek DetailsDrop down

Description

It appears there are some routes here at the mouth of the canyon, but i don't have any info other than you can see the anchors from the parking area. If you hike 1 mile into the canyon you will find three towers that have a little to offer for everyone! The trail is flat and well established, and it should probably only take you 20 minutes to get to the towers.

Getting There

Hunter Canyon is easy to find. If you are driving down Kane Springs Road, it is about 1 mile from the bottom of the switchbacks. It has parking on both sides of the road and is right before you cross the creek/creek bed.

As you round the corner about one mile into the canyon you see Squid Pig on the left, The Frightened Pickle in the middle and The Huntsman on the right.

[Hide Comment] Great find, Aaron! Not only are the towers really fun, the hike up the canyon is beautiful. Just when you think you are hiking up the wrong canyon, the towers are around the next corner. Nov 17, 2018
