Malad Gorge - Thousand Springs State Park
Dramatic basalt-walled gorge carved by the Malad River with vivid turquoise springs, small falls, and high rim viewpoints. Best at golden hour when side light sculpts cliff texture; spring run-off boosts waterfalls. Parking and viewpoints are roadside near the Hagerman area; trails give rim and limited down-canyon access. No special permits for day visits but check Thousand Springs SP fees and seasonal closures. Expect wind on the rim and variable shade in the canyon.
