About This Trail
The hiking area has a good range of difficulty levels. Starts with a short climb from the parking lot. The back side of the loop is flat with another slope up to meet the Dixie loop. It's better to have a leash on the dog because of the close proximity of the cacti. I observed some chollapears on the trail. Good hiker shoes with a firm sole are recommended.
