The trail winds 4.2 miles to a large white painted "C" on the mountainside. The overlook affords panoramic views of the region's majestic mountain ranges, sage-studded valleys and quaint, rustic communities below. The trail traverses the Markagunt Plateau, one of many plateaus that form the Colorado Plateau.  Expansive views to the West showcase Indian Peak rising to 9,784 feet.

 

The overlook offers pristine views of the West's most colorful sunsets--but remember to take caution and bank enough time into your trip to be able to safely navigate your return route. Most hikers will want to allow for roughly 4 hours of hiking time round-trip.

 

Constructed in coordination with BLM, Forest Service, Iron County, Cedar City and numerous volunteers, the C-Trail is the first recreational trail developed on BLM land in the Cedar City area and is open to non-motorized uses from hiking to biking and horseback riding.
