Quick climb up a narrow canyon with some awesome cathedral rock formations. The trail starts off as an old jeep trail and turns into a singletrack that will take you up the canyon. You can drive most of the way up this stretch in most vehicles.

As you pass through the upper fence (the forest service property line), up to your left you'll see a cave. This is actually an arch, but you can't see the opening unless you climb right up to it on a sketchy social path.

Access Info

Heading East on Highway 6 (Spanish Fork Canyon), 3.4 miles after the Thistle turn off, you will see a pull off spot on the north side of the highway. It is best to either park below the gate or above the second fence on forest service property.

39.9969298295, -111.405904355 (Spanish Towers)

This trail is unsanctioned.

Disclaimer

The lower section (below the fence) is private property, but the forest service appears to have a right of way across it. Please close the gate behind you to respect the landowner's wishes.
