Trip 2 - Neck Spring Loop Trail

Distance:                 5.3 miles, loop trip

Elevation Change:    5520/5960 feet

Suited For:               Dayhike

Difficulty:                Moderate

Hazards:                  Steep drop-offs, little shade

Introduction:    This is a fine dayhike, surveying much of the varied scenery and environments found on and near the Island mesa landscape, but far-reaching views help to put the Island into perspective in the larger scheme of Canyonlands.  The hike also allows a glimpse into the bygone days of cattle and sheep ranching on the mesa, when the trickling waters of Neck and Cabin Springs offered some of the few watering sources for grazing stock.
