Hunter Canyon

Wedged between two iconic Moab trails and skirting the edge of the Behind The Rocks Wilderness Study Area, Hunter Canyon somehow maintains a low profile while serving as the perfect encore to its neighboring routes. It lures you in with a few optional challenges, but just as you get comfortable and drop your guard, the canyon flips the script, throwing down a tight gauntlet of steep climbs, large boulders, and stacked ledges. It’s shorter and easier than its legendary northern neighbor, but make no mistake: Hunter Canyon is a rock-crawling trail that knows how to throw down.
