Recreation Region: North Kaibab Ranger District
Brow Monument Trail #108
The Brow Monument trail offers a short, two-mile hike through ponderosa pine, pinyon, and juniper to one of the few remaining survey markers left in place from the John Wesley Powell surveying expedition of 1872.
The trail offers a number of Forest Service interpretive signs about the history of Brow Monument and its use in the first geological surveys of the Arizona Strip. Hikers will enjoy an easy walk that offers views from the “brow” of the Kaibab Plateau north across the Arizona Strip and toward the Grand Staircase of southern Utah.
