Cave of 100 Hands

The Trail

This easy trail is pretty flat with about a 20 ft elevation change in 0.3 miles (one way), making it an doable stroll nearly everyone.

This trail starts from a little pull-off parking area. It follows the creek for a short time and heads down under the highway. 

 

After that, the trail turns more east and heads along the base of the hillside until it arrives at the cave. It does look like there is a trail heading the opposite direction here, so don't turn that way. The cave itself is protected by metal bars to prevent damage to the images. Despite its name, the cave only has 31 hand prints in it.

Directions

This trail is located in Fremont Indian State Park in Sevier County, Utah. To get there, take Exit 17 off of I-70. Turn west and then turn right at the next two T-intersections. The trailhead here will be on the right about 0.3 miles past the Visitor's Center. Because this trail is in a state park, there is a fee for visiting and using the trails.
