Hiking Tour

On this tour, you will trek along high desert terrain, admire ancient rock art, and gain insights into the spiritual and cultural significance of the petroglyphs left behind by the Ancestral Puebloans. This hike offers a perfect blend of adventure, history, and breathtaking views.
The 2.4-mile (3.9 km) loop trail is narrow, partially rugged, and rocky, with several steep drop-offs along the canyon wall on the way to the petroglyph panel. After the panel, you’ll scramble up a large stone staircase using your hands and feet to climb to the top, then enjoy an easy return along the mesa top to complete the loop.
