Do this trail if only for the views. Whites Flat, also known as Hog Ranch, is a connector running between North Creek and Smooth Knoll Road with fantastic views of the varying topography north of Escalante, UT, and the drastic formations of the Box-Death Hollow Wilderness.

Although camping is not abundant on Whites Flat, there is a nice spot roughly 3.5 miles from the southern end of the trail, while North Creek and Hells Backbone provide additional opportunities. The trail is maintained and well-traveled, so there are no obstacles; however, a few blind corners with expansive views off the side of the mountain will leave you with a feeling of nearly driving off the edge of the world.

If you are a piñon gatherer, keep this area in mind for good harvest years!
