Hiking the Fay Canyon Trail

Justin had hurt his neck the preceding day, so while the famous Devil’s Bridge hike was originally on the itinerary, we chose to go on the much tamer Fay Canyon trail, a 2.2 mile out and back trail. This would be a great hike for people of all ages and abilities; we saw a group of elder hikers, as well as families with strollers. The trail is mostly shaded (absolutely perfect for a blazingly hot day), with peeks here and there of red canyon walls towering over you. The real treat, though, is at the end; you’ll scramble up some steep, craggy rocks and are rewarded with unparalleled panoramic vista views.

Note that none of the trails we went on had water at the trail head, so be sure to fill up your water bottle or camel pack prior to heading out (Looking for other tips on what to pack? Check out my post on what to pack here).
