The Fisher Towers are one of the most unique and visually striking geologic formations in Moab. The red Cutler and Moenkopi sandstone towers attract rock climbers from all over the world, but for those who prefer hiking, there’s an incredibly scenic trail that can’t be missed.

This is a scenic hike from start to finish, but some of the best views of the FIsher Towers come at the end of the trail. The drive out to the trailhead along River Road (Scenic Byway 128) is also one of the best scenic drives near Moab.
