Aleson Arch (South of Bullfrog Marina)

Aleson Arch is a 100-foot span between Iceberg and Rincon. Park your boat all the way in the back of the coven and look for a break on the right side of the rock ledge. This marks the trail leading to the top and offers an easy hike to the top of the mesa. Once above the rock ledge, cairns mark the well-used path. Follow it around to the right to climb up to the base of the arch. Early morning hikes deliver the best light for pictures, so keep your camera handy.

Davis Gulch (South West of Bullfrog Marina)

Located about 5 miles up the Escalante arm, Davis Gulch is accessible by boat from Bullfrog Marina. You can also hike into Davis Gulch from Hole in the Rock Road. The Escalante arm of Lake Powell is one of the most scenic parts of the lake and many people consider the area their favorite. While the river arm offers plenty of good hikes, Davis Gulch is the most popular. It is a beautiful canyon with a sandy canyon bottom and flowing stream. Trees and other vegetation add to the beauty while making the canyon cool and inviting.

Smith Fork (North East of Bullfrog Marina)

Smith Fork is a beautiful slot canyon above Lake Powell, up lake from Bullfrog Marina. It is enjoyable to boat through its winding, narrowing concourse. From the water's edge you can hike into the slot, going as far as you feel comfortable. Hiking is fairly easy on the lower end and becomes increasingly difficult as you proceed up canyon. Hike up the canyon until you start to get tired, or until the going becomes rougher than you want, and then return to your boat. Alternately, you can drive jeep roads to a ridge above the canyon, climb down in and then hike down-canyon to the lake. Good climber can free climb down from the rim. Others may need a rope.

Annies Canyon
