What? :
Devils Garden small park section has some of the Escalante area’s most iconic
rock formations, including Metate Arch, and numerous hoodoos.
When? :
Year round, short hike, preferred at the morning or late afternoon. During
winter or after heavy rain it can be impossible to drive the Hole-in-the-Rock
Road.
Due
note 1: Plan for a 1 hr easy hike visit. Very friendly site for kids.
Due
note 2: If you are doing camping there is a nice campsite near this location (do
not camp at the parking lot).
Due
note 3: Hole-in-the-Rock Road provides access to this hike. This generally good
graded dirt road that is good for all vehicles (not recommended when it is
muddy), it can be bumpy at some sections.
My
thoughts: Highly recommended stop, very nice place to spend a lunch break and
have a short hike and enjoy the beauty of the rock hoodoos.

The
visit:
The visit
itself is simple, easy and short exploration of the rock formation area just
near the car parking.
You can
follow a short loop through the rock garden, walk on the slickrock past the Metate
arch and see the dramatic standing hoodoos.
There are
many trails to explore the different rock pillars and narrow passage, once you
are done with the exploration, you’ll pick up a good trail to follow back to
your car.
