There are just a few actual established nature hikes in the Bullfrog District of Glen Canyon NRA, Pedestal Alley is by far my favorite. Its an easy 3 hour hike. I recommend doing it in the fall or spring, since the sumer here is quite hot. The hike starts off of the Burr Tail, north of the Bullfrog Developed Area. It takes you across open desert land along a wash. After about a half mile. You take a turn onto some slick rock and follow some well established cairns (little piles of rocks to denote the trail) for another half mile around a mesa and boom you're there.
The attached photos show the Pedestals, they are similar to the "hoodoos" that you might find at Brice Canyon National Park. I thought it was interesting how the spires were of such different sizes. I took these photos to share, but as with almost anything out west, its better in person.
