Description [Suggest Changes]

Little Canyon connects Arth's Corner and Great Escape with Gold Bar.

The upper end of the trail starts at Gemini Bridges Road and descends via singletrack and slickrock to a 'T' intersection with Great Escape.

The trail is fast rolling and features awesome views of the La Sal Mountains to the east.
