Eardley Canyon Trailhead

Eardley Canyon Trailhead is a primitive BLM camping area located in the rugged landscape of Southwest Utah. This remote site is a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a true backcountry experience. The terrain is defined by dramatic canyon walls and desert vistas, providing a quiet, starkly beautiful setting for those looking to escape the crowds of more developed parks.

The campground serves as a primary access point for challenging technical canyoneering routes, making it a popular basecamp for experienced adventurers. For those who prefer a less gear-intensive outing, a non-technical 2.5-mile trail leads directly to the Amazing Pool, a scenic natural feature that highlights the area’s unique geology. There are no hookups or modern facilities available, so visitors must be fully self-sufficient.

This location is best suited for tent campers and car campers who prioritize solitude and adventure over creature comforts. Because it is a primitive site managed by the BLM, it is ideal for those who enjoy Leave No Trace principles. Whether you are planning a multi-day canyon exploration or a quick hike to the pool, Eardley Canyon offers an authentic wilderness experience year-round.
