The Dry Canyon Trail Description
The Dry Canyon Trail is an excellent challenge for experienced hikers. This trail is a consistently steep climb the whole way up. Hikers should arrive for a strenuous day with proper hiking footwear, lots of water, and lots of snacks. Though this trail is only 7.7mi long, this hike may take you longer than expected; be sure to arrive early in the day so you can really take your time and enjoy your adventure. The views from the top of Dry Canyon are entirely worth the effort to get there. With incredible panoramic views of the Utah wilderness, the Dry Canyon Trail will leave you speechless.
From the trailhead, follow the path east up Birch Creek to a divide. This split is the turn-around point for most hikers. If you are feeling ambitious, you can continue along the trail to your left to head to the top of Mount Jardine.
On the descent from the top of Dry Canyon, be sure to take your time and watch your step on the steep sections to arrive safely back at the trailhead where you began.
