Sunglow Trail is a 1 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Bicknell, Utah that offers scenic views and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, camping, nature trips, and bird watching and is best used from March until November. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
If you are staying in the Sunglow Campground, this hike is a must. Takes less than an hour and is fun for the whole family. A bit of scrambling over or around rocks is required, but nothing too difficult. Best part is at the end of the hike you get to see a tree growing out of a rock!
December 31, 2020Nice little trail along the river with beautiful views at the end, get ready to scramble a little bit along the way. Some snow and ice when we did it, be extra careful
July 23, 2020Boulders and multiple creek crossing
July 7, 2020Pretty, short trail. There was a small stream.
April 18, 2020Awesome, short red rock hike. Would be great with kids who can climb all over the rocks. Capital Reef was closed because of the pandemic, so this looked like a decent alternative and we were pleasantly surprised. You have to go all the way to the back of the camp ground where a group site is - the trail is behind it. Once you get down to the stream bed, just hike along that. Don’t try to go high up on the banks - there’s no trail up there. You’ll know when you get to the end, because it dead ends.
April 8, 2020Fun trail! It's not well marked, but follow the footprints, and you'll be fine. There are parts where you have to scramble over rocks, but that just makes it more fun. I went on 4/8/20, and I was the only one there.
March 30, 2020Awesome hike! Short and sweet. Made it all the way with a mini Aussie and a pretty clumsy Bernese Mountain Dog. There were a few sections that required me to assist the dogs up some rocks, so that could be tricky if you're not sure you can lift yours. Prepare to get a little muddy!

June 22, 2019to dog owners: my husky had to turn around after 1/3 of the way . my husky/shepherd mix did the whole thing without any problems. if you have an agile dog who is light on its feet , you should be fine. it was beautiful!
May 10, 2019DOG OWNERS.... We had to turn around about half way because of large boulders my medium sized dog, Emme could not get over and she is too heavy for me to lift up. Suitable for small dogs that can be carried Nice trail that you follow by others footsteps up the canyon and in a small creek. Be prepared for that in the Spring Follow our full time RV adventures on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/Apackof2ForTheRoad/?ref=bookmarks
March 28, 2019Awesome short hike. Would be a lot of fun with kids as well.
August 13, 2018Beautiful red rocks surrounding you. It is a trail that is scrambly but just follow the stream and then the trail ends in an enclosed canyon.
September 7, 2017A short but enjoyable hike. The red rock is gorgeous. You pretty much scramble all the way to the end, but never is it difficult. In fact, that's what makes it so much fun. The trees growing out of the side of the cliff face and the one tree growing out of a rock is pretty cool.
May 27, 2017Great short trail for a quick hike. Just follow the creek up and it eventually ends in a box canyon with some nice view.
May 22, 2017I stopped and hiked here to stretch my legs on a long drive. Perfect. Beautiful and secluded. The scramble is really fun. Ends at a dry canyon fall of red rock.
April 27, 2017Nice little hike. Good scenery. Some big rocks to climb or find a way around, but it's possible to do either.
