Introduction

Overrun with tour groups and not especially scenic by Moab standards. Morning Glory Arch is nice to see. An easy canyon good for beginners and kids that are not afraid of heights. The best part is the last rappel which can be run as a "simulrap" around the arch. This should only be attempted by people with proper skill and experience because a minor mistakes would be fatal.

Exit

For loop exit, hike downstream about a 1/2 mile to where the trail joins the main drainage of Negro Bill Canyon. At the main drainage turn right and hike upstream for about a mile and a half to where a weakness high in the right canyon wall appears (GPS N38 35' 51", W109 29' 42" / 38.597500, -109.495000). Scramble up through the breach, Class III, and you will be able to connect with an ATV trail (GPS N38 35' 38", W109 29' 46" / 38.593889, -109.496111) in less than a mile or so. Follow the ATV trail and it will lead you back to the Medieval Chamber Trailhead at the radio tower.

Red tape

$5 per vehicle fee to enter Sands Flats Recreation Area.
