My wife and I hiked the Corkscrew Trail to Ute Canyon Trail to Liberty Cap and returned down Liberty Cap Trail. Going up Corkscrew was fun and challenging. The trail to Liberty Cap was more challenging with some tricky spots to deal with. Trekking poles and good soles help! Although this was only ~5 miles, it took 5 hours to complete. Excellent hike!

I did the Wedding Canyon Trail on the way back from my longer Monument Canyon backcountry hike. You can see that log here. The Wedding Canyon Trail had some steep sections, but is very doable. Trekking poles help (for balance).

Incredible Hike!

I did the Monument Canyon Backcountry Trail on Thanksgiving Day and WOW, what a great hike this was! The views of the rock formations, including the Independence Monument, are spectacular. When I neared the turnaround point, it was an awesome hike up and out of the canyon. On the way back, I decided to hike the short Coke Ovens Trail. Near the end, I opted to take the Wedding Canyon Trail so I had some new scenery to take in,

I hiked the Coke Ovens Trail as part of my hike on the Monument Canyon Trail. You can see that log here. The Coke Ovens Trail is a short trail that takes you along the canyon rim out to an overlook right above the rock formations that look like coke ovens.
