A photo of the GPS track for our hike in Snow Canyon State Park to Point 3996... 2.5 miles roundtrip, gaining 444 feet of elevation.

We started at the Lava Flow Trailhead from the road that runs north and south through the park... hiked into the lava beds... then headed north toward the Whiterocks.

The trail starts by heading toward the red rock on the west side of Snow Canyon.

Lots of lava pits.
