Riggs Spring Loop Trail is a popular backcountry trail near Kanab that starts at Yovimpa Point, which offers spectacular views of the park’s famous Grand Staircase. From there, the 7.9-mile trail traverses thickly forested areas showcasing bristlecone, fir, and spruce trees. Views of Quaking Aspen groves and cutaway vistas of dramatic red cliffs are visible throughout to the east and south, along with areas of abundant wildflowers. Hikers should note that the trail is a popular backcountry camping region and should be respectful of campers’ privacy. Bear spray is also strongly recommended, as are water treatment methods for hikers and campers using the trail’s natural spring as a water source. Map
