The Hook and Ladder trails are located in South Eastern Utah in San Juan County approximately 30.6 miles south of Moab, and 23.5 miles North of Blanding Utah, with good parking located off Utah Hwy 191. This is within the Cameo Cliffs Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) and is managed by the BLM. The Trailhead is just a 1.2 mile East of Hwy 191.

It will take you all day(s) to explore this system and it is well worth the trip. There are no services so stock up on anything you need before leaving Moab (or Monticello if you are coming from the South) This is a great place to get away and enjoy some solitude while exploring a seldom seen part of Utah. The riding is pleasant and scenic, trails vary from easy to intermediate to expert. Consult the Online printable map (below) for which trail sections have which ratings.
