Stock Use
Horses traditionally have been used to explore the Kolob Canyons. Allowed stock animals include horses, mules, and burros. Llamas, dogs, goats, camels, and other animals are not allowed.
Permits are not required for day trips. However, stock are prohibited during spring thaws, unusually wet periods, or times when their use would cause trail damage. Maximum group size is six animals. Stock animals must remain on the LaVerkin Creek and Hop Valley Trails. Free trailing or loose herding is not allowed. Maintain a slow walk when passing hikers. When standing, stock must be kept at least 100 feet from drainages. Stock animals are not permitted on the junction route to the Kolob Arch.
The overnight stock camp is located in Hop Valley Site A. Your stay is limited to one night and a permit is required. Stock must be hobbled or tethered to reduce damage to vegetation. To reduce the spread of noxious and exotic weeds, stock must be fed certified weed-free hay two days prior to the trip.
