Bullet Canyon Trail

Discover the Bullet Canyon Trail, nestled as a stunning tributary to Grand Gulch. This sought-after trail may test even experienced hikers with steep slickrock descends. Starting along the rim of shallow Bullet Canyon, the cairn-marked path descends onto the canyon floor.

As you hike further, watch as the canyon depth gradually grows, reaching to the base of steep slickrock chutes at just shy of 2 miles. Traverse wash and slickrock ledges, opening up to breathtaking amphitheaters at 3 miles. 

For the adventurous, take a side trail to an archaeological site at Perfect Kiva, around 4.5 miles in. As the trail continues, the terrain can get sandy and the thicket may require a bit of bushwhacking.
