Chinle Trailhead Location
The trailhead is located of Anasazi
Way on a plateau above Springdale
and Rockville. Drive west from the
park on State Route 9 through
Springdale. Turn right onto Anasazi
Way, which heads uphill on steep
switchbacks. Approximately 500 feet
up the road is the first side road on
your right. Follow this short road to
the parking area and the trailhead.
Land between the trailhead parking
and park boundary is private; please
stay on the designated trail.
1. Temple View Campsite
Temple View is just off the Chinle
Trail to the south on a small ridge. As
the name implies, it has great views of
the West Temple and also of Kinesava
and Scoggins wash.
2. Scoggins Wash Campsite
A short walk off the Chinle trail down
a wash to the south will lead you to
this site. This site has a great slickrock
area that overlooks Scoggins Wash.
3. Yucca Campsite
Yucca is located on a nice sandy area
just south of the Chinle trail. It sits
slightly up on a knoll and is
surrounded by desert vegetation.
4. Coal Pits Ridge Campsite
This site is located on a ridge just
above Coal Pits Wash on the Chinle
Trail. It sits among several boulders
and has great views, and is only a
short walk to Coal Pits Wash where
water is available.
5. Coal Pit Wash Campsite
This site is located at the junction of
Dalton Wash and Coal Pits Wash. It is
located on a sandy area surrounded
by dark lava rock to the north of the
wash. This site is a good location for
further explorations, with the
junction of the Chinle trail nearby.
Water can also be found here.
6. Junction Campsite
This site is located at the junction of
Scoggins and Coal Pits Wash. It is
located on a sandy bench to the west
of the drainage with great views of
the surrounding mesas.
Coalpits Spring
Located in an area downstream of the
Chinle Trail junction, this spring is on
the canyon wall to the west under an
overhang. It can become dry in some
years so check with Backcountry when
making plans.
