From the Visitor Center, travel east on Highway 24 about 2 miles to the signed Hickman Bridge trailhead on the north (left) side of the road (mile post 81.2). There is a pit toilet here. This is where the highway crosses the Fremont River.

To The Rim Overlook (1-1.5 hours)
From the trailhead, follow the Hickman Bridge trail. After just a few minutes (0.3 miles) it splits. Left goes to Hickman Bridge and makes a great side trip. Go right toward the Rim Overlook/Navajo Domes. After a few more minutes, there is a great viewpoint for Hickman Bridge. Continue on to the Rim Overlook viewpoint.

To The Fin (30-45 minutes)
From the Rim Overlook viewpoint, follow the trail a few minutes until it rounds the head of a canyon. Go up the wash to the north. There is a social trail emerging, try to stay in the wash or on the social trail to minimize impacts. There is much cryptobiotic soil in the area.

Continue up the wash to where the canyon narrows and towering conifers appear. Climb up the slope on the right side here wherever it looks reasonable. A hundred or so feet BEFORE a large standing dead tree is visible in the middle of the wash seemed like the best route to me, and was class 3. Be sure you can recognize this spot on your return! You will be downclimbing whatever you go up, so make sure it is within your comfort zone.

Once up the slope, the towering Shark Fin is visible. Contour around its south side and over a small and very colorful slickrock saddle. Stegosaur Canyon is visible directly below. The Sharks Fin is called Stegosaur by some, the dome to the south makes it look like a Stegosaur. This is a great lunch spot.

Pectol's Pyramid is visible to the south, as is Ferns Nipple to the even farther south. The Henry Mountains are far off in the east / a little south, and Boulder Mountain / The Aquarius Plateau is to the south and slight west.

Return the same way, or even better, traverse around the north side of the fin for more views before returning.
