Hunter Canyon Group Site

Overview

The Hunter Canyon Group Site is ideal for visitors looking to explore the Hunter Canyon Trail and access popular rock-climbing routes in the area. Access to the Hunter Canyon Campground is down a tight, steep switchback on a gravel/dirt road. It is not recommended for vehicles over 22' or vehicles pulling long trailers. It is off of the Kane Creek Road, which can be busy with OHV traffic and associated noise. 

Situated off the Kane Creek Road, the dirt roads in this area are well known for their challenging routes and incredible views. Some of these roads include access to viewpoints overlooking the Colorado River and Hurrah Pass. 

Within close proximity to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and other open space, outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, and four-wheeling on designated roads with beautiful scenery. The town of Moab is approximately 20 minutes away and has dining, shopping, sports rentals, tour companies and museums. 

Recreation

The Hunter Canyon Trail is next to the campsite. This is an easy out and back trail that follows a small spring-fed creek for two miles, one way, among lush vegetation below massive sandstone walls. There are also numerous rock-climbing, mountain bike, four-wheel drive, ATV and dirt bikes/motorcycle routes in the area. Hunter Canyon is best for spring and fall use as hot summer temperatures and lack of shade in the area is challenging.
