Trip 13 – Whale Rock trail
Distance: 1.2 miles round trip
Elevation Change: 5710/5850 feet
Difficulty: Easy
Hazards: Sections of scrambling over steep and exposed slickrock
Introduction: To appreciate the dimensions of unusual Upheaval Dome, and in the process enjoy a slickrock scramble from the mesa to a broad sandstone dome, the short trip to Whale Rock offers ample rewards for a little effort. Although parts of the route along the steep slickrock slopes of the dome are exposed, handrails offer a sense of security for novice hikers.
