Lockhart Basin

You must start early to complete this remote trip in one day.

Trail meanders below the scenic western rim of Canyon Rims Recreation Area and is bordered on the west by Canyonlands National Park. Starkly beautiful, rugged and very remote. Don’t go alone. Get an early start from Moab if you expect to return the same day. A fun weekend trip if you add Lockhart Canyon, Trail #60. Hamburger Rock Campground has selfpay fee station. Take lots of water and extra gas. Fun trail for ATVs and UTVs the first 8.2 miles. After that, for the next 1.3 miles, you would be riding illegally in Canyonlands National Park.

The first 2 miles is the toughest part. After that, it’s mostly moderate with intermittent mildly difficult spots. Heavy rains can make it worse. After Waypoint 04, it’s easier. Aggressive, stock, high-clearance 4x4 SUVs can do it with experienced driver.
