Grandstaff Canyon

Grand County, UT

Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

Grandstaff Canyon holds a perennial stream under Navajo Sandstone walls northeast of Moab off State Route 128. A maintained roughly two-mile trail (National Recreation Trail) leads to Morning Glory Natural Bridge, a long sandstone span just outside the WSA core. The canyon, trailhead, and nearby campground are named for William Grandstaff, a nineteenth-century settler in the Moab area.
