The Fisher Towers Trail is 34 km up the Colorado River from Moab, Utah.   A dirt side road turns off Highway UT128 leads to a parking lot at the trailhead.   The single track trail then winds up under a series of rock spires and ends at a viewpoint.

The route proceeds up sandstone ledges, ramps, and slickrock traverses above Onion Creek.   There are many viewpoints along the way and a light bit of scrambling up and down is required, especially if you choose to explore a bit.

These massive red sandstone spires are climbing routes too.   We spotted a few ropes dangling down from the cliffs above.   The scale of the Fisher Towers is best judged from the foot of each spire.

The trail has been cleverly designed to allow hikers and climbers a route close to the base of the cliffs, but above the canyons below.

The largest spire is the Titan, 900 feet tall, the largest sandstone spire in the world.

From the viewpoint near the end of the trail we can see upriver toward the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

The view to the west looks across the Richardson Amphitheater and beyond to the Lost Springs Wilderness.  Buttes and towers were visible on both sides of the river.

The Fisher Towers Trail is 7 km (4.4 miles) round trip and as good a trail as we could hope for.   A must do in the Moab area.
