Overview

Tucked far into the southeastern Utah Desert is an overlander's paradise. If driving long distances over challenging terrain, far from any sort of civilization, is up your alley, then Bobby's Hole will surely be on your list. Lying on the edge of Canyonlands National Park in the Needles District, this unique desert trail provides it all. Numerous rocky obstacles will distract your attention from the incredible white and red rock spires surrounding you. Camping is at its best, whether you opt for a permitted site in the park or a dispersed site outside the boundary. Utah is known for its Dark Sky Parks; here, you are deep in the heart of darkness. Just don't forget the spare gas! Getting here consumes more fuel than tackling the trail itself, and once completed, you are still hours from the nearest station. Come prepared, but leave with bragging rights and irreplaceable memories after conquering Bobby's Hole.
