Little Wild Horse Canyon | Utah Photo Spot

Little Wild Horse Canyon is a classic slot canyon with a long stretch of “narrows,” where the canyon walls are so close you have to turn sideways to get through. The rock walls are sculpted and very beautiful. There are two popular approaches to hiking here. Some people simply go into Little Wild Horse, hike as far as they feel comfortable and then return the way they came in. More adventurous people make a loop by hiking up Little Wild Horse and then crossing over and descending Bell Canyon. The loop hike totals about 8 miles, and is moderately strenuous. Spring and fall are ideal times to hike here. There weather is usually dry, and temperatures are mild during these seasons. Summers are hot, but hiking is pleasant early in the day. Because the slots are so narrow, they are usually shady even during mid-day. Always carry water when hiking here, particularly during the summer months. During August, thunderstorms occur on many afternoons. During the morning skies will be clear and temperatures cool. As the afternoon heat builds, clouds appear and create the possibility of rain. Take special care during the August “monsoon” season. www.alltrails.com/trail/us/utah/little-wild-horse-bell-canyon-trail (Green River, Utah, USA)
