Overview

Traversing the red rock benches above the Colorado River, Chicken Corners is a scenic, out-and-back adventure that treats users to panoramic views of the river, Dead Horse Point State Park, and the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park. The trail culminates at Chicken Corners, a narrow, sloping section perched about 400 feet above the river, where early travelers would often dismount due to the exposure. Wildlife sightings, such as desert bighorn sheep, and geological features like catacomb caves and unique rock formations add to the trail's allure. Ideal for drivers seeking a scenic and less technical offroad experience, Chicken Corners provides a memorable journey through some of Moab’s most breathtaking terrain.
