Overview

Traveling along the northwest reaches of its namesake, Tub Canyon is a moderate challenge traversing trees and a scenic prairie-like landscape. Part of the much larger Dome Plateau Loop, this trail offers glimpses of red sandstone buttes poking out between the trees and tall, blowing grass. Although this trail is impossible to run as a stand-alone trail, combined with the other Dome Plateau sections, it creates a challenging and incredibly scenic day on the trail. Considered an alternate route to the popular Dome Plateau Overlook, this route adds a small pinch of difficulty for those looking for a bit more excitement.
