We left Kanah,UT on Hwy 89 and stopped 45 miles later to hike the Toadstool Trail. (This stop is also just 27 miles from Page, AZ if you are going the opposite way).  The hike is only 1.6 miles roundtrip, but there is no shade and lots of loose red sand to walk on, so it was definitely a warm hike in 95 degrees! After signing the trail register, we walked through the cattle gate and continued north towards the badlands ahead. A brown post marked the trail up the wash.

The terrain and the toadstools look they are on some strange planet.
