Hike and Mountain Bike
Hidden Valley Trail has different levels and gradual uphill fun and makes for a good adventure trail. It's a wide, shallow valley that is hidden from view; hence the name. The valley’s sandy floor is covered with grass and there are low cliffs on the north; while sandstone cliffs, covered by domes made of Navajo Sandstone, are in the southern rim of the valley. The trail gets hot during the summer, so make sure to have plenty of water and sunscreen. Within the trail, there are several loop options; all totaling one mile and Hidden Valley Park has a combination of landscaped and natural areas for scenery.
The trail sits on the south side of Spanish Valley just a few miles south of Moab. The trail starts on the south end of the parking area. The trail rises up the valley and after approx 1.2 miles, the trail elevation lowers. You then hike another 0.8 mile and climb a short hill to a turnaround point in the hike. In the south and west, you’ll find great views of Hidden Valley to the east. The park opens from dawn until 10pm and dogs are allowed on the trail but they must be kept on a leash; please clean up after pets.
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
