Crack Canyon - San Rafael Swell Hiking

Crack Canyon is a 2 mile hike through the San Rafael Swell. The canyon gets narrow in places but always easy to walk through. There are several drops requiring some minor climbing. Nothing difficult but with children, you'll be needing to help them. It's still a good family outing. You will have to return the way you came so the distance is 4 miles.

West of Green River Utah, take exit 149 off I-70 going south on highway 24 for 22 miles to Temple Junction. Their will be a sign for Goblin Valley. Follow this road just over 7 miles (becomes dirt), just pass a large picnic/camp area on the right. The unsigned road is on the left and is called the Behind The Reef Road. Follow the Behind The Reef road for 4 miles until you see a sign on the left for Crack Canyon. A 4WD road cuts left at this trailhead and you can drive another 0.7 miles to the entrance of the canyon.
