From Vernal, Utah U.S. Highway 40 until it curves southeast and then turns south onto Utah State Route 45. After having crossed the Green River, continue down the road roughly 13 miles, then turn right onto Glen Bench Road. There is a small BLM sign for Fantasy Canyon. Remember, this area is remote and can be difficult to navigate.

After turning right on Glen Bench Road continue driving .3 miles and veer left. Do not leave the paved road. After 13 miles on the paved road take a left onto the unpaved road known as Watson Road.

Warning: Before turning onto Watson Road, check weather conditions to avoid getting stuck. This road becomes impassable during bad weather.

Once you turn on to Watson Road, continue 2.4 miles before veering right. Then another .9 miles down the road turn right, then .5 miles cross Red Wash and turn left and then right another.6 miles to reach the last tenth of a mile stretch.

Warning: Avoid dirt roads when wet. These roads are dangerous, filled with potholes, washes and other hazards such as large trucks headed to nearby gas fields.

According to the BLM, Fantasy canyon also is home to pygmy rattlesnakes, and in the summer the Canyon is extremely hot and at times buggy.

Despite the warnings, Fantasy Canyon is an amazing place and worth the visit.
