Grassy Creek

After visiting the Grassy Creek Petroglyphs, your adventure continues through a canyon with a mine site with cabins, an old railroad line, and a natural spring oasis. Grassy Creek winds along the eastern edge of the San Rafael Swell, where water is extremely rare during the summer months. After stopping at the log cabins, continue following the old railroad track mound to the hidden oasis. Large boulders in the creek mark where the mineralized water leaches from the cliffs. You will need 4x4 high-clearance and durable offroad tires to travel the entire trail. Consider that the Grassy Hills trail is considered hazardous, so you might consider an out-and-back on this one. No camping was found along this route.
