Stone Storehouse
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
The trail is fully exposed with zero shade — in summer months, even a ten-minute walk in direct Canyonlands sun can be punishing, so carry water and wear a hat regardless of how short the distance looks on paper.
Do not touch, lean on, or remove stones from the structure — it is a protected archaeological site and far more fragile than it appears.
Trail Details
- 1
Pick up the interpretive plant guide at the trailhead before you start — the numbered posts along the trail only make sense with the brochure in hand, and without it you will walk right past the most interesting details.
- 2
Pair this with the nearby Roadside Ruin trail in the Needles District for a back-to-back look at how Indigenous peoples lived in this landscape — together they take under an hour and tell a richer story than either one alone.
- 3
Bring a close-up lens or use your phone's macro mode on the stonework joints — the craftsmanship is remarkable and photographs well in the low-angle light of early morning or late afternoon.
