Description

Little Wild Horse and Bell Canyons is one of the most popular slot canyons in Utah. Little Wild Horse and Bell Canyons are within the Muddy Creek Wilderness in Emery County, Utah.

Visitors can explore the canyons on an eight mile loop trail and will take close to four hours to complete. This hike is family-friendly, but there are a few sections of scrambling required. Leashed dogs are allowed. Please follow Leave No Trace principles and pack out any waste.

Water is present in the canyon during certain times of year and may be unpassable. Visitors should prepare for possible wading. Please check the weather before visiting Little Wild Horse Canyon and avoid the area if there is potential for rain. The canyons have extreme potential for flash floods.
