If you happen to go up the Nebo Scenic Loop, make sure you stop at Devils Kitchen. This is one of our favorite walks (it’s only about a block, so to call it a “hike” would be stretching it). The short walk leads to a view of bright orange rocks like you would see in Bryce Canyon. We love showing Devils Kitchen to others since it stands out in this mountain canyon.
Devils Kitchen on the Nebo Loop is closer to the Salt Creek side than the Payson side (it’s 28 miles from Payson), so there is not much traffic on the trail. Additionally, it is wide enough for a stroller or wheelchair, and the talk is paved.. There are also restrooms at the trailhead.
One of the things we like about this walk is that it is a short walk for a big payoff. At the end of the trail is a mini-Bryce Canyon formation. There are many towering “hoodoos” as they call them including balancing rocks in oranges and deep reds.
If you drive the Nebo Loop for the beautiful fall leaves, then make sure to stop by and make this walk. It is perfect for even the youngest or oldest adventurer. You can also check out The Grotto which is another short, easy trail along the Nebo Loop near Payson.
