Hike to Grandstaff Canyon Trail to Morning Glory Bridge, Moab, Utah

This 4-mile round trip hike goes along Grandstaff Canyon (aka Negro Bill Canyon) to Morning Glory Natural Bridge. The hike along a clear creekis in a scenic narrow canyon with red rock walls on each side and does not have much elevation gain but has several stream crossings. Morning Glory Natural Bridge is 243 feet long and is the sixth-longest natural rock span in the United States. Morning Glory Natural Bridge is located at the end of the second side canyon on the right. The trail forks just below this canyon. Follow the trail to the right, cross the stream, and ascend a steep slope. Morning Glory Bridge is located at the end of the trail about 0.5 miles up the canyon from the stream. Trail is much cooler in the afternoon once sun is low enough. There is easy parking and trail access right on road. Trail is also is pet friendly. Do not touch the poison ivy that grows below the pool under the bridge! Poison ivy plants have dark green, shiny leaves with serrated edges in clusters of three.
