Thing to Do
Timber Creek Overlook
NPS/Bryanna Plog
The Timber Creek Overlook Trail is a short, relatively easy trail that follows a rocky ridge with minimal elevation gain, making it perfect for a quick walk to a stunning viewpoint. Once you reach the overlook, you'll be rewarded with views of Shuntavi Butte,Timber Creek, Kolob Terrace, and the Pine Valley Mountains. Looking south on the far horizon, visitors may see Mount Trumbull, 100 miles away at the north rim of the Grand Canyon. During the spring and early summer months, the Timber Creek Overlook Trail is covered in a beautiful display of desert wildflowers. The dirt trail is often muddy when wet.
A small picnic area is located a short distance from the trailhead.
