At the junction with Highway 176 turn left and follow Highway 176 toward Hall's Crossing. The Hole in the Rock trail head is just on the west side of the small airport around 10 miles short of Hall's Crossing. The trail itself is 30 miles each way for a total of 60 miles before getting back to asphalt. The sea of weathered sandstone provides never ending variety. An overlook of the Great Bend of the San Juan River is impressive.
Lake Canyon is interesting.
But most interesting is the trail itself especially when the history behind it is studied before taking the trip. Click the small picture to view 640X480X16 million color version. Even in a 4WD it takes the better part of a day each way. The rough stuff begins near Lake Canyon. Challenges abound on this trail.
