Little Wild Horse Canyon Trail in Muddy Creek Wilderness

The Little Wild Horse Canyon Trail offers an unforgettable journey through the rugged terrain of the San Rafael Swell. As you venture into the narrow slot canyon, the towering red rock walls gradually close in, creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere that contrasts with the wide, open desert landscapes at the trail’s beginning. Along the way, hikers encounter sections where they can navigate tight crevices, climb over boulders, and occasionally wade through pools of water, providing both a challenge and a refreshing experience, especially after rain. #Hiking #Nature #Canyon #Desert #Rock
