Hero: Island in the Sky
small-sr Icon

Unrelated to Canyonlands National Park, this Island in the Sky trail is an unmaintained yet easy dirt and gravel road spurring off North Creek Road and providing hiking access to the Great Western Trail. The only obstacles one may encounter are a few small washouts in the packed dirt. Any vehicle with good ground clearance can complete this trail. Camping is found near the trailhead in the gully between this and North Creek Road or at the trail's end, where you turn around and head back down. A designated campground can be found at the end of North Creek Road at Barker Recreation Area Campground.
