The Trail
This easy short hike is only 1.2 miles long round trip with a 68 foot elevation change. It leads to three lookout points that overlook the canyon. These points also offer a nice view of Balcony House, especially if you have binoculars. One of the points offers a telescope allowing you to more closely view the Balcony House ruins. Pets are not permitted on this trail.
