The Fisher Towers are one of the most unique and visually striking geologic formations in Moab. The towers are carved from rich, red Cutler and Moenkopi sandstone and have a rippled effect to them, which captivates photographers.

The Fisher Towers are extremely popular with rock climbers from all over the world. Look up during your hike and you’ll likely see a few scaling the towering walls!

The trail is well-trafficked and easy to follow. You’ll immediately drop into a canyon and begin to follow the walls of the towers, hiking over hills and across washes when necessary. The views begin from the moment you hit the trail and continue getting better. The journey is the destination on this hike!

About 2 miles into the trail near The Titan there’s a metal ladder to help hikers climb down the side of a steep drop off. Dogs will not be able to navigate down the ladder, however larger and experienced dogs may be able to scramble up and down a side canyon to get down. Most dogs will need to be carried and passed off to someone at the bottom.

You can still get a solid hike in with your dog doing an out-and-back to the ladder, but I recommend continuing on to the end of the trail if you can. You’ll climb onto a ridge and get a sweeping view of the Fisher Towers looking back towards the trailhead.
