cohab canyon trail印象

My two six year olds loved it and didn't have any trouble. All of us slipped a time or two so wear good shoes. Reward yourself with some pie at the Gifford House afterward.

My wife and I hiked Cohab Canyon from the Hwy 24 side, parking near the trailhead for the Hickman Bridge and Navajo Knobs. The hike from this side gets a few views of Capitol Dome and rock faces on the north side of the park but no views of the Visitor Center side of the park. Although the Visitor Center trailhead (near the campground) is much steeper (400 ft. rise over about 1/2 mile) you get some great views of the park's north and west sides as well as the Fremont River. Considering the short length of this hike you can get some great views almost from the start. For about the same amount of effort we much preferred the Chimney Rock hike on the West side of the park off Hwy 24 on the way to Torrey. Hip and Hop

Hiked up this trail in 2012. At the top had some beautiful views around Capitol Reef. Wasn't that long of a hike. Started across the road from the Capitol Reef campground.

We hiked this trail starting from the west end. The trail head is near the barn in Fruita. We hiked with kids ages 4, 5, 7 and 8 and it was a steep 1/4 mile but doable. The canyon at the top is totally worth it. We spent about 2 hours on the trail and probably only made it 1/3 of a mile into the canyon because there are plenty of rocks to climb and side/slot canyons to explore. One of the best hikes in Capitol Reef!

The initial climb up from the Fruita end is a little breathtaking but also offers breathtaking views of the Gifford barn and farm house as well as the Fremont River gorge on the opposite side of the valley. Once in the canyon a whole new hidden world is discovered, there are mysterious side canyons, strange rock formations and pleasant green areas. Be sure to take the side trail out to the two river overlooks. You can make this a loop by walking back up highway 24 and through the orchards to the picnic area near the Gifford House.

We were planning on taking the Hickman Bridge tour, but a rockfall detoured us to Cohab Canyon. The initial switchbacks were not as difficult as advertised and were soon over. The first entrance into the canyon has to be experienced. After hiking the canyon walking back to our car along the highway was not as long or difficult as feared.

When we visited this summer, the Hickman Bridge trail was closed, and the ranger suggested we try this one instead. It was very quiet and peaceful as a trail, and we saw lots of wildlife up close. The beginning of the trail is very steep if you are starting from the visitor centre, but then it flattens out when you reach the canyon - the view is very rewarding after that initial ascent! Loved the peace of Capitol Reef!

Walk out of campground and the trailhead is right there. Switchbacks make for easy climb up. Fantastic canyon scenery. Enjoyed the hike !

We started out by parking near the homestead museum then walked by the horses, and across the road to to the trailhead. The hike starts out with a steep or moderate grade in the open, switchbacks back and forth. You hit a more level area, continue to the south(?) You may think the trail goes left, but it is more to the right or straight if I remember correctly. You cross the flat area, continue along the face of the wall and then get to a small summit, then drop down into the canyon. We thought the sign about staying to the left of the wash was confusing, but figured it out. We went to both the overlooks. Not a safe area for out of control kiddo's. Check with the ranger to make sure we are remembering the details correctly.

The beauty of this hike is that you can turn around whenever you are ready. (Which helps with little ones)We did lots of bouldering in the canyon and explored the slot canyons on the right (When coming from the campground). Cool spot to explore, and its right out of the campground--no need to drive to the trailhead.
