Tibbet Canyon, located on the Kaiporowtz Plateau, is a beautiful canyon that runs from Nipple Butte to Smoky Hollow. There are several unique rock formations visible throughout the drive, no matter which direction you run it. Obstacles generally consist of bumpy wash crossings, which can increase in size with every storm. Any vehicle with high ground clearance will be able to handle this trail in normal conditions, but if there is any moisture present, 4WD is likely required. The only campsite found along the trail is at its eastern end, where it intersects Smoky Hollow. It is a large and exposed site with plenty of ground for 6-8 vehicles to spread out.
