FRY CANYON LODGE 100 MILE VIEWS
Edward Abbey once called this area the wild heart of the Colorado Plateau.
His most famous novel took place in these canyons. Whether you stay with
us for an evening, a week, or a season, you'll find plenty to see and do
here.
If you've come to sight-see and relax, Natural Bridges National Monument
is our near neighbor; we are also convenient to Glen Canyon and its famous
reservoir. On the road to Mexican Hat, stop at Muley Point, with its incomparable
views over Monument Valley and all four of the Four Corners states.
Back at the lodge, you'll find local Indian ruins to visit, and cool evening
rim walks just outside your door, You won't believe the sunset over Jacob's
Chair Butte as seen from our front porch, and you may be startled to realize
how many stars there are in the desert sky at night.
The more adventurous will find breathtaking four-wheel- drive touring on
the area's numerous backroads, and challenging hikes in Utah's most awe
inspiring wilderness areas-- including Dark Canyon, Grand Gulch, and White
Canyon. In the hot summer months the cooler elevations of Elk Mountain provide
shaded mesa-top treks with dazzling views, and good roads for jeeping and
biking. For the truly gonzo there's the Black Hole, with its hauntingly
deep sandstone narrows, hypothermia-inducing swims, and difficult climbs.
And that's only the beginning. There are more beautiful, unnamed, undiscovered
canyons and mesas in our backyard than anywhere else in America.
