Best Time to Camp at Fisher Towers Recreation Site

This is true desert country, where shade is scarce and the sun reigns supreme—come prepared with sun protection and plenty of water. But your reward for braving the desert heat is some of the darkest night skies in the region, perfect for watching meteor showers and the river of stars stretching overhead.

Your campsite sits amid classic high desert terrain where red clay and slickrock meet sparse desert vegetation, offering front-row seats to one of the Southwest's most photographed geological wonders. The 2.2-mile National Scenic Trail winds through this otherworldly landscape, leading you around the base of the towers to overlooks where the Colorado River basin unfolds in every direction.
