    Short scenic hike along a little stream which leads to a a bridge at the end of the path.. I got to the bridge around 11 and people were repelling down which was awesome to watch.. If you speed walk it's def a good little workout, took me 40min 1 way

    3miles into Upper Colorado River Scenic Byway[U-128], you will find Negro Bill Canyon trail head. After 2.5 miles of beautiful trail, you will be greeted by Morning Glory Natural Bridge. It is a huge arch tucked in the end of the trail. You will get wet crossing the creek several times to get to the arch. I know there are so much to do in Moab but you wouldn't regret it to spend couple hours @ Negro Bill Canyon.

    Great early morning hike. Truly beautiful nature! Watch out for the poison ivy although it wasn't a problem for us.

    Great hike up a creek with a dog. Worth checking out. Can't get lost.

    (But maybe don't go out of your way to pet them in late spring, when there's also plenty of poison ivy along the trail).

    Arches is absolutely amazing. I would recommend watching the short video at the visitor center to…read morehave more understanding of how the arches have been formed. The arches are just mind blowing and you get the wow effect. We did a couple of the longer hikes to get a better look. I would say that the Park Avenue trail was the hardest for me although I think it was listed as moderate. ‍ About 3 miles round trip. Many steps down and not much shade, it was warm out. The next day we went to Landscape Arch first. We were told it is a must see but that the hike to it was considered difficult. Well no it wasn't difficult at all. I would consider it moderate. The trail had smooth gravel which made it easy to navigate. It was not quite 3 miles round trip. So glad we did it because the arch is just amazing. The longest natural arch in the world.

    Stunning! Absolutely stunning!…read moreI've traveled on four continents and this is easily one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Park Avenue was my favorite, then the Delicate Arch, but holy heavens, around literally every turn there was another absolute stunner of a view. I took easily 100 pictures during my relatively short time in the park. Then, when you drive back out, you see all the same stunning views, but at different angles, and you experience those things in a brand new way. This was easily the highlight of my 3,600 mile, 12-day, 9-state road trip. You have to come here, it is nearly unbelievable how beautiful it is. You have to experience it for yourself. Absolutely one of the most beautiful places in the US, without question!

    Mill Creek Canyon Trailhead is a beautiful hike that I'd rate as moderate--some sections require…read moreclimbing over rocks, but nothing too extreme. Luna handled it with ease, hopping right up and then looking back at us as if to say, "You coming?" The trail follows the river nearly the entire way to a waterfall, which is just under a mile in, with another mile back. You don't necessarily have to do the full hike--there are plenty of spots along the creek where you can stop, let your dog swim, or cool off before turning back. If you do continue, the waterfall at the end makes for a rewarding finish. The water is cold but refreshing, and I can imagine it gets crowded on weekends. Luckily, when we went (weekday afternoon), it wasn't too busy. This trail is very dog-friendly, and most dogs are off-leash. That's great if your pup plays well with others, but if your dog isn't comfortable around other dogs, this may not be the best choice. Luna swam in the creek several times along the way and capped it off with a dip in the waterfall--she absolutely loved it. We didn't swim ourselves since we didn't bring suits, but next time we might. This is definitely a place we'd return to and a spot I'd highly recommend for dog owners.

    In A Nutshell: -Mill…read moreCreek Trail is a lovely trail that can stretch as far as 7-10 miles per the local I spoke to during my hike. -When you follow it initially from the parking lot, it will take you to the waterfall, that distance is about 1 mile one-way. -The hike was awesome during the morning (7am), barely saw many people. -You can catch a beautiful sunrise just over the waterfall too (see photo). -You will hike through the creek, dirt paths, brush & rocky edges. -Some reviews recommend water shoes, but I just went barefoot & I was fine. -The water was warm in mid-August & it wasn't very deep even at the waterfall (went up to my thighs). Overall, if you want to start off your day on a short, relaxing & fulfilling hike, you need to come here. You'll leave very happy & energized!

And it's dog friendly! At the trailhead, there is a small parking lot with a sign that tells visitors to come back later if the lot is full. We arrived just after 8am on a Sunday and found only 3 other cars there. The trail is very clearly marked so you know right where to go. Be sure to stop at the bathroom on your way up if needed. There is also a dog waste station to get poop bags, but you'll need to carry it out with you as there are no garbage cans along the way. The first few minutes of the hike are out in the open-lots of sun and no shade. But quickly you'll find yourself along the river with trees all around you. There is sandstone that you'll hike through-it can be a little slippery. A little further in you'll find that the trail crosses the river. Plan on getting wet even though there are rocks that you can walk across. Keep going and you'll end up at a beautiful waterfall and pool. I'm told there is another further on, but we turned around after this point. We will come back again and see what surprises await us beyond this point.
