The Toadstools trailhead is 1.5 miles east of the Paria Station visitor center along Hwy 89 in Southern Utah, Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Have to look close for it or you’ll fly right by the parking area.
The trail to the toadstools is an easy 2 miles round trip in a wash and past the deposited layers of sandstone, limestone and shale.
The toadstools kind of sneak up on you.
They are majestic.
And come in all sizes.
Of course you can’t eat these toadstools unless you’re a rock giant with very strong teeth.
A storm was heading my way so I rather booked it out of there and continued my journey to Lake Powell.
