The Druid Arch Trail starts at the 2.1 mile mark of the trail to Chesler Park and travels south up the sandy wash of Elephant Canyon. Druid Arch is large interesting arch with two narrow vertical openings. It derives its name from its suggestion of the Stonehenge rock formations in southern England, created by the "Druids."

The Elk Park Loop follows dirt roads and single track trails up into the forested slopes of the Uinta Mountains. Along the way are views of the peaks of the Uintas and the Flaming Gorge area.

This excellent trail climbs beautifully through wildflowers and past several waterfalls to Emerald Lake on the flanks of Mt. Timpanogos.

The network of trails to lower, middle and upper Emerald Pools are most rewarding. Lower Emerald Pool is surrounded by hanging gardens of fern, moss and monkeyflower and fed by three small waterfalls that run off Middle Emerald Pool 50 feet above. The trail climbs up and around to Middle Emerald Pool and then an additional 220 feet to Upper Emerald Pool, a beautiful small pool with a white sand beach.

The Fairyland Loop Trail descends 900 feet from Fairyland Point, meanders through the hoodoos of Fairyland Amphitheater and climbs back out at Sunrise Point. It is made a loop by hiking 2.5 miles back along the Rim Trail.

The Fiery Furnace is a maze of narrow canyons created by tall, red sandstone fins. There is a pull-off view of the area, but to really experience its beauty, a hike through is highly recommended. Hiking through the narrow canyons is so confusing, hikers must either join one of the twice daily ranger led hikes or obtain a permit for a small fee to enter the area.

Few of natures geologic creations are more bizarre to look at than Utah's Fisher Towers. About a dozen of the strange monoliths stand near the Colorado River east of Moab, grouped together like petrified skyscrapers from some prehistoric city.
