Pioneer Names Trail

The Pioneer Names Trail in Snow Canyon State Park is a short, crescent moon-shaped hike that leads visitors over some mildly rocky terrain with small slopes. The trail passes a collection of some names on a rock face, written in axle grease. The names date back to early settlers from 1881.
