Need to Know

Most of the trail, especially around the base of Zeus and Moses, is on loose rocks and gravel with steep drop-offs just a step away. Exercise extreme caution.

Description

This lollipop trail leads you around a stunning rock formation that is also popular with rock climbers. The elevation change and the rocky surfaces make this endeavor challenging though. Great views of Taylor Canyon and a feeling of being a dwarf right next to these giant rocks are the reward.

As you leave Taylor Canyon Road, the trail heads straight for Zeus and Moses. The trail is fairly obvious for the most part, but does require some steep scrambles and careful boulder climbing. Right before you reach the base at about half a mile you walk on top a ridge just a foot wide with steep slopes on either side. You can circle the base in either direction with some social trails shortcutting in multiple places. There is still significant ups and downs as you make your way around.
