The surfaced trail climbs 40 feet to the crest of a desert shrub-covered hill that commands an impressive view of the heart of the Virgin River Gorge. Interpretive plaques at the summit display historic, geologic, and other information of interest.
Nestled in a pocket of the spectacular Virgin River Gorge, this recreation area is surrounded by colorful cliffs and rocky canyons. The Virgin River Canyon Recreation Area offers a developed campground, picnic/day use area, hiking trails and access to the Virgin River and two wilderness areas.
