Geyser to Burro is a 3-mile out-and-back hike in Utah's Manti-La Sal National Forest, within the Moab Ranger District. It is a moderate walk with a one-way climb of about 200 feet, rising from roughly 10,400 feet to about 10,600 feet. The trail is natural surfaced and open to bikes. It is not an accessible trail, so plan for a route that works with the natural ground rather than for wheelchairs. The hike is open year-round, and the surrounding Moab Front recreation area is a base for more to do. Burro Pass Trail lies about a mile away, and the Moonlight Meadows and Clark Lake mountain biking areas sit within a mile of the start. Oowah Campground and the Trenchtown climbing area are each about 2.5 miles off.
