The Greenhalgh (pronounced “Green-off”) Trail is a three- to four-mile
roundtrip out-and-back hiking and equestrian trail north of Kanab, UT. The
trail is named for the Greenhalgh brothers, two local characters who
homesteaded the area in the 1900s.

There are two primary trailheads. Hikers and equestrian users with full-sized
vehicles can park on the northeast side of Kanab Creek and continue on foot to
the ATV trailhead roughly 0.4 miles down the road. Hikers with ATVs can cross
the bridge and drive 0.4 miles to the ATV trailhead.

From the ATV trailhead, the Greenhalgh Trail follows an old stock trail once
used to carry mail across the Coral Pink Sand Dunes from towns to the west.
After just over 0.5 miles, the trail splits from the historic mail route and
begins to climb the cliffs on the northern side of Trail Canyon. It continues
for roughly one mile before ending at a scenic overlook just below the mesa
top.

Please respect private landowners and do not enter private land on top of the
mesa.

The GreenhalghTrail is open to foot and horse traffic only; bicycles and
motorized vehicles are not permitted on the trail. Dogs are welcome, but their
waste must be packed out. The trailheads are minimally developed, and no
amenities are available. For more information and detailed maps, visit the

The Mansard Trail is a roughly five-mile roundtrip out-and-back hiking trail
accessed from the Vermilion Cliffs Estates subdivision to the east of Kanab,
UT. The trail climbs the Vermilion Cliffs to an alcove filled with unique,
approximately 870- to 1,070-year-old petroglyphs that have been pecked and
carved into the alcove’s sloping, sandstone floor.

From the trailhead, the Mansard Trail ascends approximately 950 feet over a
series of switchbacks, offering increasingly sweeping views of Kanab and the
plateaus of northern Arizona. As the trail reaches the top of the Vermilion
Cliffs, it negotiates a short section of rough stone slabs, which may require
a mild scramble. From here, the trail crosses the sandy plateau to arrive at
the base of the White Cliffs, where a scenic alcove contains petroglyphs from
the Pueblo II period (AD 950 to 1150).

Native American groups identify images like these as “rock writing,” because
they were a form of communication rather than decoration. **Respect and
protect rock writing and archaeological sites:**

**Keep discovery alive.** Archaeological sites are fragile and irreplaceable.
Treat sites with the respect they deserve so that future generations can
experience these direct links to the past.

**Don’t touch rock writing or make your own.** Never touch, deface, trace,
slide on, or otherwise damage rock writing. Direct contact with rock surfaces
causes the images to deteriorate, permanently erasing them and destroying the
experience for future visitors. Do not make your own markings or signatures on
any of the rock surfaces around the site. Leave the sand where it is – don’t
dig holes or brush off the rock writing panel. **Vandalism, damage,
defacement, or removal of any artifact or rock writing image on public lands
is illegal and can result in fines or imprisonment.**

**Watch your step.** Do not step or climb on the rock surface in the alcove.
Take care not to cause damage with hiking poles.

**Don’t camp, eat, or go to the bathroom near the site.** Camping, fires,
food, and human waste damage archaeological remains and spoil the view for
other visitors.

**Teach kids respect.** Archeological sites are not playgrounds. Please teach
children to be respectful visitors and keep an eye out to prevent them from
getting hurt or accidentally damaging sites.

**Keep dogs on leash.** Pets should be leashed and kept away from the alcove
to prevent damage, digging, or other impacts to the site. Please clean up and
pack out pet waste.

**Report vandalism or damage.** Help protect your public lands. If you notice
damage or see vandalism occurring, please notify the BLM Kanab Field Office at
435-644-1200 or the Kane County Sheriff's Department at 435-644-4916.

The Mansard Trail is best suited to foot traffic only; horses are allowed but
may find the stone scramble to be a serious obstacle. Dogs are allowed but may
require assistance in the steep section. Please keep them away from the rock
art and pack out their waste. Bicycles and motorized vehicles are not allowed
on the Mansard Trail, but ATVs may access the site via BLM104, a challenging
four-wheel-drive road. The Mansard Trailhead includes a graveled parking area
but no other amenities. For more information and detailed maps, visit the

Peek-A-Boo, also commonly known as Red Canyon, is an easy, short hike (0.7
miles round trip) into one of the most beautiful slot canyons in the area. The
stunning orange, sandstone walls make an amazing backdrop for photographs. In
the canyon, you will find ancient Moqui Steps climbing the canyon wall as well
as logs balanced between the canyon walls above you.

Keep in mind, deep sand makes the route to Peek-A-Boo difficult, and in some
cases, impassable. In recent years, flash floods have pushed boulders into the
Peek-A-Boo Canyon, creating drop-offs that may pose challenges for visitors.
Floods frequently change the height and difficulty of these obstacles by
depositing or washing away sediment and debris.

An off-the-radar expanse of photographic bliss, Coral Pink Sand Dunes State
Park is where weekend warriors can leave footprints in soft sand. Walk among
old juniper, and pinion and ponderosa pines. Then take your shoes off to leave
footprints in the orange-red sand dunes. These geological oddities were formed
by the continual erosion of the nearby Navajo sandstone cliffs.

Coral Pink covers 3,730 acres. The sand dunes are open for hiking and kid-
friendly playing. About 90-percent of the dunes are open for ATV riders, an
attraction for which this state park has become ever popular. Coral Pink is an
