TaylorCreekTrail
You will probably get your feet wet as you hike along the Middle
Fork of Taylor Creek, fording the water several times. Following the creek bed up-
stream, you'll have views of Tucupit and Paria points directly ahead, and Horse
Ranch Mountain to the left. The Gustav Larson cabin is near the confluence of
the North and Middle forks, after which the trail begins its ascent into the canyon
between Tucupit and Paria points; it levels out as it follows the creek bed. The Ar-
thur Fife homestead cabin is perched on a bench above the north bank of the creek.
The trail ends at Double Arch Alcove, a large colorful grotto with an arch high
above. The trail has an elevation gain of 450 feet. See “Kolob Canyons Area” map
in chapter 3.
