Nefertiti Point

Nefertiti, queen of the 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, has been immortalized by nature. At the end of this easy but very scenic canyon drive is a rock spire that looks like the queen. Although this is the trail's highlight, it by no means is the only worthy stop along the route. The trail travels along and above the mighty Green River. After the pavement ends, the trail is a well-maintained gravel road that accesses an organized campground with sites along the river. At least ten more primitive campsites can be found further back in the canyon. You will also need to plan for a short stop at the remarkably well-preserved Smith Cabin and the petroglyphs at the end. Pack for a day along the river or settle in for a week of epic camping in this remarkable recreation area.
