About this place
Lambs Knoll sits close to Zion National Park, with views over the Kolob Terrace.
The sandstone crag has more than 25 established routes of varying difficulty, and there is a good range of canyoneering objectives here too.
Big improvements landed in 2018. There is now a developed trailhead, a better access road, a restroom, and a picnic area for the day.
There is room to park, and any vehicle can get in.
The Kolob Terrace Road is usually open all year, though snow and bad winter weather can sometimes make the drive dangerous. Spring, summer and fall are dependable.
Eight walk-in tent campsites sit next to the trailhead. They go first come, first served. You can stay 14 days in any 28.
Each site has a numbered placard and a metal fire ring.
Fire restrictions change, and checking the current ones is on you. Campfires go in the steel fire rings and nowhere else. Never leave one unattended, and make sure it is dead out before you go.

Every distance on this page is the driving distance. A short distance can still take a long time. The road may be closed for the season, covered in snow, or washed out. Many of these roads are dirt. Plan your route before you leave home. Out here there is often no phone signal to look it up on the way.

La Verkin is big enough that you’d normally expect fuel and somewhere to buy food. Nobody from here has been to check, so don’t count on it if you’re running low.

The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.
Thank you. A person will read it before it goes on the page.
