This is a dead end hike into a canyon. Back and forth it is about 4 miles, depending how far you go into the two narrow canyons at the end. It is no Trailhead, only a sign saying that this is private property, but you are welcome to walk the trail. It is very limited parking around. The satellite map shown below shows two red circles where you can park a couple of cars. The GPS location where I parked is W 37°11'37.417 N113°41'48.234
You will see the wash. The marker for the trail is down in the wash, but you dont have to walk down in the wash, there is a trail on the rim of the left side of the wash, and eventually you will end up walking on the rim of the wash. The trail starts at the most northern red circle I have marked.
This is the trail marker in the wash just down from the road. It is the only marker I saw on my hike. The trail is not always easy to follow, but anyhow head for where the canyon starts.
Here you will see that the canyon has two arms, one to te right and one to the left.
I walked a little bit into the one canyon to the left, but It looks pretty rugged to continue all the way to the top.
This is into the right canyon where you walk at the bottom of the wash. The right side of the canyon is a vertical tall wall. And I dont think you can walk very far into this one either, but that could be anyone's choice.
This is looking back out of the canyon, heading back.
And now and then you see stone piles guiding you. This was kind of decoratively placed.
At the bottom of the wash it is pretty green, at this time of the year its pretty dry, and it is 50 days since the last rainfall.
Here I am back to my car. Even at 100 F I was ok with drinking one bottle of water. The hike took 2 hours
Above is where I walked, and the elevation of the trail. The canyon is more or less in the Kayenta Village, and there are roads ending much closer to the canyon, but I expect that people living there would not appreciate parking outside their homes to make the hike shorter from there!
This is a map of part of Ivins, and the trail is marked with yellow on top of the map. It is about 20 minutes drive from St George city center.
