Cremation Canyon via South Kaibab Trailhead

10/27/17

I’ve not done the backpack trip described but I have hiked the south Kaibab trail many times and up to Utah Flats once and much got left out of how to get to the flats from cremation canyon!!! To do that you need to go back to the south Kaibab,follow it all to the Colorado River and cross the black bridge to the other side. Then follow the trail west going to phantom ranch. If you’re bound and determined to get to the flats I highly recommend you find a ranger down there and ask them about that trail. Going up to that saddle is not only steep but lots of loose dirt and gravel, so it disappears easily after rains. People do backpack that trail but not often enough to keep it visible on the lower part. Hopefully anyone who wants to do this will do their research.
