Overview

Within a network of more well-known trails lies Little Canyon. This unique trail is nestled between Gold Bar Rim and Bull Canyon, taking you across a traditional Moab landscape just northwest of town. You will likely have the trail all to yourself as you take in the breathtaking scenery. The La Sal Mountains tower in the background, rising over the red fins for which Moab is so well known. Alongside the expansive views are numerous shelves, ledges, and waterfalls, drawing your attention away for just a brief moment in time. This diverse combination of experiences will leave a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to find this hidden gem.
