Hatt Ranch Bypass

Hatt Ranch Bypass is a pleasant addition to the very popular Black Dragon Wash because it easily brings you south of Intestate 70 to the lesser-known petroglyphs on Three Fingers trail. The trail begins with a tunnel under the interstate before traveling along the edge of sloping sandstone cliffs boarding the San Rafael Reef Wilderness. In stark contrast to the endless rocks of the San Rafael Swell, this region shows the dramatic change in landscape the reef has created. The rolling plains are magically transformed into a towering wall of multi-colored sandstone. Add this trail to your weeklong expedition across Utah, or pull off the highway to experience a small sample of The Swell.
