Hike Jones Hole Trail, Dinosaur National Monument, Utah

A pleasant hike along a babbling brook in the bottom of a lovely canyon. It's 8½ mile round trip which does not include the side trip to Ely Creek Falls. Basically level walking with a few ups and downs. Quite a bit of shade. Trail terminates at the Green River. Approximately 1½ miles down the trail from the fish hatchery are several panels of Fremont petroglyphs and pictographs. After two miles, the Island Park Trail intersects with the Jones Hole trail at Ely Creek. A short walk up Island Park Trail takes you to a small waterfall. Good trout fishing is available in Jones Hole Creek. A Utah fishing license is required. Designated backcountry camping sites available near confluence of Ely Creek and Jones Hole Creek. The Jones Hole River campsites are reserved for boaters during the high-use season. They can be used by backcountry campers during low-use season. See river campsites information. At the US Fish & Wildlife Service Jones Hole Fish Hatchery - 47-mile drive on paved roads north of the Quarry Visitor Center. This road is normally plowed and kept open year round.
