Salvation Knoll
About
Salvation Knoll is a summit on Bureau of Land Management land in the Canyon Country District of southeastern Utah, about 17 miles from Blanding. Salvation Knoll Trail (475) lies 1.5 miles away, and other hiking routes branch out across the surrounding canyon country. The most comfortable weather comes in late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Natural Bridges run to highs around 71°F in May and 77°F in September. That station sits about 700 feet below the summit, so temperatures up top run a bit cooler. Nearby options include the Mule Canyonn Trail at 2.2 miles and West Rim Texas Canyon at 2.4 miles. For a longer outing, Arch Canyon is about 4 miles off.
