Fisher Towers is located about a 40 minute drive north of Moab, Utah.  I have wanted to come to Fisher Towers for quite some time because I’ve heard about the amazing rock climbing routes and fun hiking trails.  I am not a rock climber but I still wanted to check this area out.

You can see the towers all the way from Utah Highway State Route 128 – they truly are an incredible sight!  You can see The Titan on the right side of the towers sticking up.

There is a small campground right at the parking lot complete with pit style toilets.

The Main Trail (South Trail) begins at a small parking lot and it winds up and down along the southern portions of the towers until it comes to The Titan.  There are other trails, so you will need to pay attention to the trail signs along the way.  This Main Trail was really fun and different because I was expecting large crowds but there were only about 20 other people we saw.

The Main Trail begins on the south side of the parking area.  If you go on the East Trail you will come to an incredible overlook.  The East Trail is short and I highly recommend you do this trail.  It’s about 700 ft to the overlook and worth every minute you spend.

The view you see below is what you will get when you hike to the overlook.

We went back to the parking lot and got on the South Trail to get to The Titan.

The trail is somewhat tricky to follow in a few locations because the trail blends in too well with the rest of the surroundings and as a result we went off trail.  Just try and follow the cairns the best you can.

There are a few trail markers like the one below too.

The distinct sculpture you see below in the center of the picture is called Ancient Art.  It is a famous rock climbing location and while we were hiking we saw about 4 groups going up and down it taking turns climbing to the top.

The picture below is showing Cottontail Tower.

The trail keeps going from here.  I really liked these rock features because it reminded me of Goblin Valley.  The sculptures look like someone was throwing dirt clods at them.  If you get a chance, try to hike up right next to these near vertical towers and you will get a real sense of just how huge they are!

Once you turn the last corner you will see The Titan – the name is very appropriate since it is ginormous.

Once at the base of The Titan we rested for a little bit and hiked back to the parking lot.  There are lots of little side canyons to explore but since we already had plans back in Moab (and it was getting cold!) we headed back.  You can keep hiking to the trail end which is at 2.3 miles from the parking lot.
