Description

This side trail leads out to the eastern point of Horseshoe Mesa. After running down Grandview Trail and passing the backcountry camping area, you'll have the option to go left or right at a fork in the trail. Go right to take this trail, or keep left to stay on Grandview. There is no way down off the mesa from this eastside trail, so it's just an out and back to the point.
