Gold Bar Rim is a cliff rim that stands about 1200 feet above US 191 in Moab Canyon. Because the rocks behind the cliff slope downward to the southwest, the rim has a 360 degree vista. Gold Bar Canyon drains away from the rim into the Colorado River. The trail climbs to the rim in stages, first angling up to Little Canyon, then working its way across Gold Bar Canyon to follow the slope of the Wingate Sandstone up to the rim.
The Gold Bar Rim vistas take in almost all of the local country, including Moab and the Spanish Valley, the La Sal Mountains, the Book Cliffs, and parts of the Colorado River canyon.
Approximate mileages: 47 total, 25 off highway.
