Access Issue: DO NOT DISTURB ARTIFACTS,LEAVE NO TRACE Details

Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek Details

WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.

RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description

Another great find by Mike Baker. The Prayer Stick is a really nice looking leaning pillar. It has some fairly unique petroglyphs at the base of the pillar. The whole area gives you the feel that many Indians have been there before you.

Getting There

When sticking with the overall directions of this page, you will want to drive 2.7 miles and park in a field on the right just past a wash. The hike up to the pillar follows a wash and then some talus, and takes around 20-30 minutes.
