Description

Muley Twist Canyon is a noted backpacking area accessible from the Notum Road. It is a beautiful deep canyon cut into the waterpocket fold of Capitol Reef. The upper portion is terrifically scenic with numerous arches and dramatic views. ..The trail begins along a 4wd road through a wash. A gate at the 2.5 mile mark blocks vehicles but you continue up the ever narrowing canyon past several arches. The Rim Route, a rigorous, lightly carined trail that follows the crest of the reef back to an intersection with an earlier part of the trail. .
