Hunter Canyon features an out-and-back hike up a twisting canyon with towering sandstone cliffs and a babbling creek, which makes it great for dogs. About 0.5 miles into the trail you'll see Hunter Arch up on the right wall of the canyon. Hunter Canyon makes a great trail for a leisurely day hike or a relaxing nature walk away from the hustle and bustle of Moab.
