Grandstaff Trail to Morning Glory Bridge is a popular dog-friendly trail in Moab that takes you through a scenic canyon with a perennial stream to a jaw-dropping natural bridge. The hike can be completed year-round, but is particularly enjoyable in late spring when it’s warm, but not too hot.

The star of the hike is Morning Glory Bridge, which is the 6th longest natural bridge in the U.S. While the hike is a crowd favorite, there’s plenty of room to spread out and explore beneath the bridge if there are other hikers around. Be aware there is a lot of poison ivy growing along the trail!
