The Hidden Valley trail is located near Moab, Utah. The trail, which is managed by the BLM, is a popular destination with local hikers and trail runners. Its close proximity to Moab probably helps to drive its use. The trail begins near the valley floor and climbs the hillside on the south side of the highway to a secluded valley that is nestled between the cliffs. Hikers can turn around at the 2 mile point or continue west into the 'Behind the Cliffs' area where the trail ends at its junction with the Moab Rim trail.
