Sheep Creek Swamp Canyon Trail is a loop trail that spans 4.1 miles, offering elevation changes of more than 800 feet. The trail traverses past an overlook over Swamp Canyon, which is surrounded by fin and hoodoo structures. Following the overlook, hikers can connect with portions of the Under the Rim Trail or make a clockwise loop that passes plenty of flowering plants during the summer months. The trail is recommended for use between April and November and is considered one of the best sites in the park to glimpse a more intimate look at canyon structures than some of its more popular massive overlook sites. Hikers should exercise caution when interacting with wildlife on the trail, which may include wasps, deer, mountain lions, and bears. Map
