STATISTICS AT-A-GLANCE

• HIKE NAME: Headquarters Canyon

• DISTANCE: 3 miles RT

• ELEVATION GAIN: 250 feet

• RESTROOMS: No

• DOG FRIENDLY: No

• PERMIT: No

• FEE: Technically yes because this is located within Capitol Reef National Park. Although not a direct fee area with a booth, I always have my America the Beautiful Pass displayed. The private vehicle fee for Capitol Reef is $20.

• MAP PROVIDED IN WEBSITE: Yes, Gaia GPX

The trail will start on the opposite side of the road from where you parked. Coordinates listed above are for parking. You will see a sign that says Headquarters Trail on the other side of the road. The start of this canyon has your typical narrows, however keep going. The end of the trail gives my very favorite view (and the one pictured)
