Take in the Views

As you move northeast you will enter a beautiful canyon. Here you will want to stay on the left hillside as their are two washes below that are difficult to negotiate. You will soon begin to see the center of the canyon become a gorgeous meadow that sprawls across two thirds of the canyon floor.
 

Get a Closer Look

At the back of the trail the canyon breaks into two forks. To reach that fork you will have to walk through the meadow. The fork trail will end just beyond the meadow. Be mindful of where you walk. This is a beautiful short hike.
