Overview

Lime Kiln Canyon is a very scenic gateway into the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument region. This route accesses a very remote region within the northern Grand Canyon region of the Arizona Strip. The trail offers multiple opportunities to camp, hike, and rock climb. You'll need a 4x4 to climb through the canyon and up to spectacular panoramic views of a vast desert region. There are towering cliffs, red rock formations, and mild offroad challenges. The trail leads down to CR101 Grand Parashant, where you can continue south to the Gold Butte region's rock formations or travel north to St. George, Utah. Either way, go prepared for a remote and genuinely memorable overland experience.
