Little Egypt Hoodoo<\/p><\/div>\n

This interesting geologic oddity sits just west of Hwy 95 about 25 miles south of Hanksville<\/strong>. \u00a0The red and white formations somewhat resemble those of Goblin Valley farther north. One incredibly tall hoodoo known at the “Torch” rewards those who explore up a northern gully. The area is accessed via a gravel road which parallels the highway. No amenities exist, though primitive car camping is available. The area is popular with ATV riders who enjoy a network of back-roads running through the nearby foothills.<\/p>\n

Thru-hikers connecting the Henry Mountains<\/strong><\/a> to Poison Springs Canyon<\/strong><\/a> can access the area fairly easily. The Hayduke Trail<\/a> <\/strong>passes to the north and a lower elevation route goes over Pennellen Pass to the south.<\/p>\n
