While this is about 1 hour away from Moab, it is accessible for a long day trip. The easiest and most accessible slot canyon in the San Rafael swell is actually a loop hike of Little Wild Horse Canyon and Bell Canyon. Follow all directions to Goblin State Park. Just before you get to the entrance of Goblin you will be at a stop sign. Left is the entrance to Goblin, turn right here and take the well maintained road for several miles to the first well established trail head on the right. You will cross a large dry wash.  The trail head has toilets. Park here and walk the trail until you can drop into the dry wash.

About 10-15 minute you will see the canyon split. Turn right and enter Little Wild Horse Canyon. On the left is Bell Canyon where you will exit later. Some negotiating is required and you may need to use you hands. In winter and early spring there will be water in the slots that can be passed by stemming the canyon wall. When the canyon opens up about 3 miles later there will be a fork to the left. Take this as it crosses over to a well maintained dirt road. Walk the Road (turn left) until you come tot he next dry wash. This is Bell Canyon. Continue on to the end.  Highly recommend!

Located off Mill Canyon rd. This is an interpretive trail with signage of where to look for the fossils and a description of what type of dinosaur they belong two. There are several different types. Some are very easy to see and make out. Others not so much. It is clear they are different from the surrounding rock they are embedded in but you will only know the part of the body from the signage.  This area was a marsh land 150 million years ago. If a dinosaur died in this marsh, the bones with eventually seep in minerals within the water. These minerals solidified the bones over time which allows us to see them today.  A very easy trail that is looped back to the car by way of a dry wash. Can be contacted with the Mill Canyon Copper Mill site.

Located near the Ken’s Lake campground. When I was there it was during several days of thunderstorms. The water fall was really gushing. Not sure how much water when there hasn’t been rain in a while. The falls can be seen from the campground. There is a dirt road that leads right the base of the falls but you cannot drive this section. Just walk down the road. It is an easy walk.  You can also explore along side the falls and above by following several social trails.

The Sun is a very nice place. Two floors all open air. Being at a corner provides a nice breeze along with the ceiling fans. I asked for up stairs and was no problem. There is a large bar on the second floor as well that over looks Pub Street.

The menu has plenty of options with both western and Khmer food.  I ordered the ham and sausage pizza. This is not typical western style ham and sausage, Either way it was excellent. So good I went back several times for it. The staff were very friendly. Nice place for lunch. Not sure how busy they would be for dinner.

Directions: No. 32, St. 11, Siem Reap, Corner of Street 11 and Street 8, near Pub Street and the Old Market.
