Elephant Hill

Perhaps the best 4×4 trail in any national park.

One of our all-time favorite trails. Difficult, but in a very fun way. Passes through the beautiful Needles District of Canyonland National Park. Fee required. Day-use permit required. Read page 162. No pets, even if left in vehicle. Pack out trash. Amazing hiking trails. Even if you are not a hiker, don’t miss the Joint Trail. All vehicles and drivers must be licensed. No ATVs or UTVs, even if registered or licensed.

Very steep and narrow in places. Extremely tight switchbacks require backing up. Rock ledges require high ground clearance and 4-wheel drive. Skid plates highly recommended. Not recommended for stock sport utility vehicles
