Devils Garden
Description of how to get there: Another highlight at the Hole in the Rock Road is Devils Garden. You will reach the junction to Devils Garden after about 12.4mi on the unpaved Hole in the Rock Road on the right hand side. Up to here the road is mostly in a very good condition and should be passable with a normal car. To be on the safe side, you can check the road condition at the BLM in Escalante.
Description: The area of Devils Garden is relatively small. There are no predetermined trails, you can move more or less freely among the rocks. Hiking is very easy, there are almost no height differences to overcome.
Our rating: Devils Garden is certainly one of the most visited attractions on the Hole in the Rock Road. Nevertheless, you don't meet masses of people here, even if you are usually not completely alone. Devils Garden is great and for us always a favorite location when we are here in the area and have a few hours left.
