Overview
3B III R
Located in Capitol Reef NP along Halls Creek, Rotary Dial is a fun, scenic, and varied adventure. Fluctuating potholes, stemming, indistinct anchors and a natural bridge are all a part of its charm as it rotates down the Waterpocket Fold.
Getting There
Along Capitol Reefs east side Notom-Bullfrog road drive to "The Post" TH.
Camping
Lots if the vicinity. Agency regulations apply as appropriate.
Route
From the TH hike south in Halls Creek until you reach Muley Twist Canyon as it cuts through the Waterpocket Fold to meet Halls Creek. At this junction head up white sandstone on the south side of Muley Twist and contour around Rotary Dial until you reach its head, or just short of it. There is a little bit of canyon up from here, and your drop in point will also be marked by a natural bridge in canyon. Have fun.
