What to expect
Murphy Point Trail is a 5.5-km out-and-back trail that offers stunning views of Candlestick Tower, the Green River, and the White Rim Road. The trail is generally considered easy and takes an average of 1 hour and 9 minutes to complete. It's a popular area for hiking, running, and walking, but dogs are not allowed. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. The trail leads past a historic corral on the mesa top and ends with panoramic views. It's a great place to visit with family and friends, but keep in mind that there are limited shade and uphill sections on the return. Reviewers recommend starting early and bringing plenty of water
