Lockhart Basin

Traveling over a great distance and deep into the heart of desert and canyon country, a sense of freedom is the feeling you get when on the Lockhart Basin offroad trail just outside of Moab, Utah. It is remote and far from the traffic jam you experience on many of the other popular trails in the area. This route is often used to avoid pavement when going from the Moab area to the Canyonlands Needles District. Along the way, you witness the fortress-like walls of Hatch Point to one side of you, and the intricate and humbling canyon benches that were formed over time by the mighty Colorado River to the other. The trail is great for a long day or can be combined with other trails for a multi-day overland trip for capable rigs.
