Description

Added by Allison Herreid

A quick hike to beautiful views of the Bighorn Canyon.

Sullivan's Knob is just one mile north of the popular Devil's Canyon Overlook, so be sure to add this short hike (only 0.75 mi round trip) to your list if you're in the area.

Coming from Devil's Canyon Overlook, the parking lot will be on the right side of the road. The trail begins from the parking lot, is relatively flat throughout, and approaches the edge of the canyon quickly. Take in the views and continue along the canyon before looping back to your car. While short, this scenic hike provides unique views of the canyon.
