Burro Wash Trail

Get to know this 8-mile out-and-back trail near Capitol Reef, Utah. Generally considered a challenging route, it is recommended that at least two people hike this together to assist one another with the terrain. The trail starts as an easy walk through an open wash, but approximately three miles in, the slot canyons begin, presenting various obstacles. As you follow this trail while hiking, you will eventually come to obstacles that are too difficult to pass without technical climbing gear. This would be an ideal place to turn around and hike out unless you are an experienced climber prepared for a technical descent. It is unlikely you'll encounter many other people, making it a great spot to enjoy the unique white Navajo Sandstone in solitude.
