This hike is best done as a shuttle, but can also be done as a long loop. Starting from the top of Hammond Canyon, this route dives into the canyon's belly, bringing you past epic sandstone features.
After following the creek bottom for a while, you'll eventually reach Posey Canyon Trail (166). This trail takes visitors on very steep terrain high above Posey Canyon. The views along this portion are epic.
If you're planning on doing this route as a backpacking trip, there are great camping spots along Hammond Canyon Creek.
