A narrow part of the trail that goes under that huge rock. If you like hiking this is a fantastic trail to hike.

Mt. Nebo hiking trip on April 3rd 2022. I dipped down from the rim trail for part of the hike. It was a beautiful hike!!

I thought this was a cool pic of a tree growing out of the rocks. This was taken on April 3, 2022 on the Mt. Nebo hike.

The Rim Trail at Mt. Nebo. I think that is a view of Flood Mountain.

This is an old home on top of Mt Nebo near the trailhead. It looks like a haunted house, but I think it is a beautiful old home.

Just had a torrential rain the night before so the trail was wet, muddy and full of debris. The first half was foggy but cleared up about half way 3.3mi

Nice trail with a jagged rock path most of the way. A few steep grades required minor rock climbing. 3.5mi
