Ghost Flats to Lightning Switch Loop - Cedar City, UT

This is a fun little hike through Piñon Pines and red rocks! There are great view points all along the trail. This is a moderately difficult hike of 4.5 miles and 1,000' of elevation gain. It usually takes about 2 to 2.5 hours to complete. The trail is typically easy walking with a few areas that have washes and are a little rougher. I will wait 5 minutes past departure time for late arrivals, you are welcome to catch up if we are already on the trail.

**** Back up Plan**** If the weather in the days prior to the hike have been very wet the trail can get excessively muddy. In the even of very muddy conditions I will change the hike 24 hours prior to Coal Creek up through cedar canyon. This is a paved trail along the creek and is an easy hike on flat ground. The trail start locations are only about 5 minutes apart. I will send out a message and change the meetup location if it becomes necessary.
