Why this hike isn’t rated THE best around Moab is beyond me. It’s about 5 miles round trip and you see absolutely gorgeous views most of the way. And the top is 360 degrees of pure beauty. We started out early (7:45ish) and spent about an hour at the top with nobody else to bother us. On the way back we encountered quite a few people on their way up. There’s a good deal of elevation with stunning views around each bend. This was by far our favorite hike.

Fisher Towers near Moab is an awesome geologic feature quite different from the arches in Arches National Park.  The cathedral-like looking towers are visible from the scenic byway (Route 128).  Getting to the trailhead requires 2+ miles of driving on a dirt road which is manageable in a regular car.  The 2+ mile hiking trail has many ups-and-downs as it climbs up to a great viewing point at a hilltop.  There is a short ladder to navigate about midway point on the trail; it is easily manageable. The trail is very easy to follow and the views all along the trail are magnificent.  Fisher Towers is, for sure, worth the drive from Moab; even the drive itself is beautiful.  

Was a cool morning and thought we’d take advantage of it. Fisher Towers is a spectacular hike. Lots of scrambling, stone stairs and exposure. Is difficult if you have bad knees especially coming back. Would highly recommend poles if you have. Beautiful views all around.

We drove up to the base of the Fisher Towers in the late afternoon which was perfect viewing time for photos. There’s a camp site and toilet there close to the path to walk to below the towers themselves which are magnificent. I was particularly interested in droning the towers which I managed to do and am pleased with the results. A small group of hikers returned saying it had taken them about two hours to circuit to the base of the big boy at the back. Great place!
