Beehive Trail — Attraction in Four Corners States

This trail sits next to a great stop right off 89 S, just passing Lake Powell, to overland in between when there’s so much to see.

First come, first serve. We arrived around 8pm (time change included) with two lot spots left on a weekday.

Some big RVs there, a great place for our roof top tent. Spot 3 facing road overlook Lake Powell. Would have stayed & felt comfortable if I was traveling alone here. Two outhouses, picnic tables at each lot, with fire pits, trash, hikes right next to it.

Parking for trails looks wheelchair accessible to the hikes, though to get to hike is uphill on gravel dirt road. I believe there were two roads that split pulling in… one to the left for trails, thought you could park and stay there too. Could prolly grab an envelope and leave money at the official overlanding spot to the right for RV’s & camping.

We were extremely grateful for this quick in between places stop, as I hate to drive at nite.

Fee of $14. Some construction equipment in the road next to us.

Though extremely grateful to arrive around 8-9 (w time change) again the next evening, (cos we spent too much time at horshoe bend overlook,) we squeezed ourself next to van, and anew pile of sand. Different vibe:

1. the outhouses wreak after two days. Had to close my RTT windows this time due to the slight breeze hitting inside 🤢 2) It’s a small area, so when people are up all nite drinking and laughing, there aren’t a whole lot...

The beehive and the new wave trails are wonderful. I have visited the wave, and the new wave is much larger and much easier to access. A permit to the wave is difficult to get and the hike is strenuous. The new wave takes less than 30 minutes. If you are patient and follow the trail around, it will open to a section to explore. I will say that below the trail is an ATV track. Down there is lots of trash and tons of broken glass. Why do we have to strictly stay on the trail when there is trash and glass below us, just out of sight? The beehive also had trash and broken glass inside of it. That's VERY...

This trail is a fantastic loop hike that really surprised me. I loved the mix of gentle climbs and wide open views, it’s scenic without being too tough. The rock formations are beautiful and unique, especially the beehive shaped one the trail is named after.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it was. Not too many people out there, which made it feel like a hidden gem. A solid, peaceful hike with great views the whole way, definitely one of my favorites...
