Salvation Knoll is a short, easy hike on Bureau of Land Management land within the Monticello Field Office in Utah, about 0.22 miles long and climbing from about 7,109 to 7,241 feet. The route sits on natural ground, and the land office doesn't allow horses or bikes. The most comfortable months are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Natural Bridges show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 77°F, with July peaking near 89°F and winter lows near 20°F. That station sits about 700 feet lower than the knoll, so temperatures up high run cooler. Several trails lie within a few miles. Salvation Knoll Trail (475) is about 1.5 miles away, and Mule Canyonn Trail, West Rim Texas Canyon and Lyman Canyon are all within about 2.5 miles.
