This beautiful 1.2-mile trail doesn’t have much elevation gain, and the paths feel naturally made while still being well maintained. Mother nature finds a way to put beauty in the smallest things sometimes.

When you reach the water, you’ll be treated to beautiful scenery created by water flowing over years and years. The natural routes the water takes over the rocks have, over the years, helped cut smooth, layered paths that are so pretty in the sun.

Fields of cactus plants make the trail extra pretty, and if you have junior hikers with you, wildlife spotting is a fun activity suitable for all ages.

While you’re here, you can even enjoy a waterfall in the right season. Who doesn’t love a good water feature?

Make sure you always strive to leave nothing behind except footprints and pack everything up that you bring out, including food peels. Keeping nature natural is a key part of maintaining hiking areas for years to come.
