About this map

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominates this high-desert landscape, where the dramatic relief of Smoky Mountain and the Kelly Grade illustrate the challenging geography of Kane County. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Gunsight Canyon, Pasture Point Canyon, and the Left Fork Water Canyon, which feed toward the Colorado River system.

Remote transportation routes like the Smoky Mountain Road and specialized paths such as the Alstrom Point Trail and Sit Down Bench Trail provide the only access through this dissected plateau. Occasional water sources like Berry Springs and seasonal flows in Last Chance Creek and Warm Creek are critical landmarks in an otherwise arid environment, revealing the sparse but essential points of navigation for those traversing this portion of the Smoky Hollow quadrangle.
