What to expect

Cave Spring Trail is a 0.6-mile loop trail located in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. The trail leads to a historic cowboy camp and prehistoric rock markings, and features two ladders that take you on top of the slickrock. The trail offers panoramic vistas, scenic views, and a unique opportunity to explore the park's natural and cultural history. The cowboy camp, which was used by cattlemen in the late 1800s, is a notable feature of the trail, and the prehistoric rock markings provide a glimpse into the lives of the area's early inhabitants. The trail is considered easy to moderate and is suitable for families with children, although dogs are not allowed. Visitors can enjoy the trail's unique features, including the cave, spring, and rock art, while also taking in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape
