ラサル山脈での周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

This little tour is highly recommended. Great views in every direction.

Spectacular.

After crossing the eastern fork of the Grandstaff Canyon Creek you run up a sandy trail toward Morning Glory Natural Bridge passing between towering, water and algae-streaked sandstone walls and outcroppings. As you continue up this beautiful section of trail in the open canyon, you start to get views of Morning Glory Natural Bridge in the distance, outlined against the massive walls.

Morning Glory Natural Bridge is a huge natural bridge and an incredibly popular hiking and rappelling spot at the end of a scenic side canyon of Grandstaff Canyon. Spanning 243 feet, it is the sixth longest natural rock span in the United States, and an incredibly impressive sight. You can go beneath the bridge to marvel at its beauty and take photographs while also cooling off in the shade. There is a shallow pool of water under Morning Glory Natural Bridge, which is what makes it a bridge as opposed to an arch. This is a fantastic place to sip some water and relax before returning to the trailhead.

Although the Grandstaff Canyon Trail crosses the creek several times, this particular section is frequently flooded because the trail dips down, crosses, and traverses next to the shallow creek for a short distance. Be mindful that the sandstone can be slippery when wet and wear proper shoes that you're ok with getting wet. On this section of trail you pass below and next to huge overhanging sandstone walls and through green trees and shrubs that rely on the water from the creek. This is a peaceful, unique part of the trail that feels quite different than the beginning of the hike in the more open-feeling valley.

The trailhead for the popular Grandstaff Canyon Trail, which takes you to Morning Glory Natural Bridge, begins at the mouth of Grandstaff Canyon, about 3 miles from the junction of US 191 and Highway 128. There is limited parking to be sure to get there early to ensure you get a spot!

The Titan is the largest tower in the Fisher Towers area. It is also the largest free-standing rock tower in the United States. The most famous technical climbing route up to its summit, Finger of Fate (5.8 A3), is considered one of the "Fifty Classic Climbs in North America." This impressive tower dominates the landscape as you jog through this amazing, unique area.

The Fisher Towers overlook affords sweeping views of their namesake towers and the striking desert landscape surrounding the area, though not much chance to find shade for a longer pause. Appreciate the views, nonetheless!
