The final two miles of the Hunter Rim Canyon Trail are particularly challenging and require careful navigation; this is where, if headed east to west (i.e. if you are completing the Pritchett Canyon-Hunter Rim Trail Loop clockwise) and descending here off of the rim of the canyon, down into the canyon to Kane Springs Road, sure-footedness and attention is required. This part of the trail involves difficult terrain with extreme exposure and some scrambling segments; As the singletrack segment snakes over slickrock benches and through boulder gardens, it can be tricky to follow. If you are careful and go slowly if descending this section, you will be rewarded with having completed an iconic, old-school Moab trail that is a part of the famous Moab Trail Marathon. If you are nervous about descending this section, then just reverse your plans and climb up it! Even if aiming for the Pritchett Canyon-Hunter Rim Trail Loop, you can do it counter-clockwise and climb up this section and still complete the same miles and almost the exact same amount of elevation. When ascending this section, the scrambling is a little less intense and the navigation is a little easier.
