Salt Creek Canyon

As one of the few trails in the Canyonlands Needles District, Salt Creek Canyon provides you with incredible scenery, a bit of excitement, and access to an excellent backcountry campground. This 4wd trail is not just a walk in the park. Despite its arid desert location, this trail has plenty of spring-fed water, providing life to lush vegetation. The surrounding rocks are sure a sight to see with the black streaks staining the iconic southern Utah red. This is an absolute must-do if you are in the area and can snag up one of the ten available vehicle permits issued daily. Also, please remember that since you are within the National Park, pets are not allowed.
