Summary: The 3 1/2 rated Hey Joe Canyon trail climbs down
into the Green River gorge Labyrinth Canyon through Spring Canyon. The trail ends in the
Hey Joe Canyon mining ruins before it doubles back through Labyrinth Canyon.
Location: Take Highway 191 north out of Moab and then turn west on Highway 313.
The trail spurs left off the junction with the Dubinky well road about a mile and a half
after leaving Highway 313.
Scenery: The views while dropping down the ledge road in Spring Canyon and along
the Green River in Labyrinth Canyon are spectacular.

The Trail: The drop into Spring Canyon is steep on a rough ledge
road. It is a very sudden change from the straight graded road that leads to it. The trail
along the bottom is subject to rockfalls and the Red Rock 4-Wheelers occasionally have to
clear them to keep the road open. Other rock falls contribute to the challenge. Brush
crowds both sides of the trail in Labyrinth Canyon and can leave pinstriping on your
paint. Be careful, the River is deep and swift along the side of the trail and the trail
is extremely narrow in places.
