This out-and-back trail starts and ends south of Blanding, Utah, near Comb Ridge and south of the Abajo Mountains. It accesses Hotel Rock, an intact ancient Anasazi lookout on Little Baullie Mesa. The off-highway portion is approximately 14 miles round trip, featuring steep rock climbs, narrow dirt/rock sections, some sandy wash areas, and a scenic overlook of Arch Canyon. Special Considerations The trailhead is about 90 miles south of Moab. Vehicles must maintain 55 mph on highways. Fuel is required; a common stop is Shirttail Junction at US 191 and Utah Highway 95 south of Blanding. Scenery The full day offers varied views: desert landscapes leaving Moab, mountain scenery near Monticello, returning desert near Blanding, prominent Comb Ridge along Utah 95, and the well-preserved Hotel Rock Anasazi structure as the focal point. Surface Mix of steep rock climbs, narrow dirt and rocky two-track, and sandy wash sections. Trail Details Hotel Rock provides the main historic and scenic highlight, but the entire route—including highway travel and varied 4WD challenges—delivers continuous interest through diverse terrain and overlooks.
