Description

The trail begins and ends on fairly flat sections, but to get from the mesa top down into the canyon necessitates a lot of steep zig-zagging. There are great views and an easy descent, but it takes a bit of energy in the opposite direction. Overall, it is a very well-maintained, clear trail with clean steps.
