Fisher Towers - Utah
Fisher Towers is located northeast of Moab, UT via highway 128, which follows the scenic Colorado River past sheer red rock canyon walls. After driving past the turn off for Castle Valley, a right turn onto Fisher Towers road brings the immensity of these geologic wonders into view. These gigantic sandstone formations are famous in the rock climbing world, having made the list in Steve Roper's and Allen Steck's 50 classic climbs of North America. For those who aren't so vertically inclined, there are plenty of butte's and canyons to explore, as well as a handful of trails to hike. Fisher Towers is an excellent alternative for anyone wanting to get away from the crowds and traffic that plague nearby Canyonlands and Arches National Parks.
