Hayduke Trail #9 is a 7-mile out-and-back hike on Bureau of Land Management land in the Kanab Field Office in southern Utah. The trail rises about 150 feet from a low point of 5,295 feet to a high of 5,443 feet, and it is rated moderate. The nearest town is Kanab. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 79°F and October highs around 72°F, while July averages about 96°F and January highs sit near 46°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The Kitchen Corral Wash Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Kitchen Corral Trail is about 2 miles off. Telegraph Wash Trail and Fin Little Trail are both roughly 4 miles away.
