Description

This trail leads to the desert floor north of Goblin Valley. You have excellent views of the different layers of the Upper Jurassic sandstone formations, that is Entrada, Curtis, and Summerville. A few markers lead the way down to the desert floor.

Stay left once you hit a larger wash and follow it. The path crosses the wash a few times before turning left into a small side canyon. The canyon constricts quickly and leads back up to the Goblin Valley Road.
