This is a great place to check out in between Zion and Bryce. The additional altitude makes this hike a cooler alternative to all of the hot desert hikes!

The hike is especially stunning in the morning! The turn out that is 3.5 miles down the road is the turnout for the "Alcove Spring Trail." Once you've parked there walk back down Upheaval Dome until you spot the trail markers on the opposite side of the road.

Did this hike while visiting the parks in Moab! Enjoyed having the trail to ourselves despite a holiday weekend!
