While is 86 miles by road we took the long way, 65 miles by dirt 4WD road, Skutumpah (easy for you to say) Road. It crosses Bull Valley Gorge, a slot canyon over 100 feet deep and sometimes narrow enough you can jump over it (you can, not me). In it's day it was the road from Cannonville to Kanab and to bridge the gorge some big choke stones were pushed in and tree stumps and dirt filled in to make a bridge 15 feet thick. in 1954 three people in a pickup died when part of the bridge collapsed. Their bodies were recovered and in 2019 most of the truck was washed away although some parts of the truck are still there.The trail does past Willis Creek and ends in Cannonville.
