Overview

Isolation, desolation, and solitude can all describe the Book Cliffs region in eastern Utah. The 230-mile-long Book Cliffs run along the Highways from Price, UT to Grand Junction, CO, calling out to the adventurous traveler. Horse Canyon Road will deliver you to the doorstep of an area very few have ventured. It winds through a scenic canyon before climbing to the first tier along these towering cliffs. Once you're up on top, you'll zigzag along the edge of the Floy Canyon Wilderness Study Area, all while soaking in how pristine the terrain is, seemingly undisturbed by modern man. While linking this trail with others in the area, you will experience addictive isolation.
