What you'll see ⛰️ Summit🌄 Big views

The park's big climb - 2,725 feet up to white sandstone knobs above the whole Waterpocket Fold.

Tips
Follow the cairns carefully on the upper slickrock; the route is not obvious. The final knobs give a 360-degree view of the entire fold. Carry four litres - there is no water and no shade.
