Bull Valley Gorge Trailhead

Bull Valley Gorge Trailhead is the access point for the slot canyon of the same name, reached via Skutumpah Road south of Cannonville — about 6 to 8 miles down a graded dirt road that a higher-clearance vehicle handles more comfortably, and that can become impassable entirely when wet. Parking is tight, room for roughly two vehicles with a few pull-outs nearby, positioned right at the north end of the bridge crossing the gorge.

Good to know

• The hike into the canyon starts by walking upstream (west) from the trailhead, just before the bridge
• This is Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument land — no maintained facilities at the trailhead itself
• Check road conditions before driving out; Skutumpah Road washes out and turns to impassable mud after rain
• Flash-flood risk applies to the canyon beyond the trailhead, tied to summer storms — check conditions before entering
