Kitchen Corral Wash Trail is an easy out-and-back hike on Bureau of Land Management land in the Kanab Field Office of southern Utah. The route is about 4.4 miles long, with a total elevation gain of about 85 feet. It runs between a low of about 5,439 feet and a high of about 5,532 feet, making it a low-impact walk with little climbing. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 72°F with lows near 41°F, and April highs around 69°F. That station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. The Hayduke Trail #9 starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Kitchen Corral Trail lies about 2 miles off. For climbing, Buckskin Gulch and The Dog Pound are both about 8.7 miles away.
