Found a set of Keys on the Moonflower trail Saturday, November 4th, 2023, 11am. Toyota Rav 4 faub, small green carabineer, Yakima key & others. Gave them to Moab sheriff 11-5-23.🍀
The campground in the canyon is now closed (the group site remains). They have moved the spots across the street next to the river. The hike is still a nice stop.
This place is great for families. The hiking is safe and fun for kids. There is a big fun tree for kids to play on at the beginning of the trail. The hike is about .8 of a mile round trip. There is a fantastic pool of water to check out at the end of the trail. There are petroglyphs near the beginning of the trail.
Just beautiful! Easy access and the echo in the canyon is just magic! Close to camping and the river and petroglyphs and lots of little unexpected treats!
Be careful of the poison ivy though. Easily avoidable but prolific.
The campgrounds arent private at all and not well regulated however it's still very nice for a campsite.
The little trail that goes up the canyon is barely a half mile, but it is still super nice to sit and enjoy the shade in a grove of trees near a small pond of collected rain water. The echos from the surrounding area and gorgeous red rock cliff walls are worth the small trek if you'd like to sit and enjoy lunch but not have to do anything strenuous.
