Overview

Desert Springs is an easy crossover trail connecting with the popular Elbow Canyon trail that leads into the Grand Parashant National Monument region of the Arizona Strip. The sunsets are also a wonderful reason for traveling and camping along this route. They are spectacular and happen every single day of the year. The trail allows you to easily travel from the Eagles Landing truck stop between Mount Bangs to the east and within the Pauite Wilderness and the Virgin River valley off to the west.
