About This Trail

Imported description

The offline map is recommended. People have reported that the trails are poorly marked. Hike through Desert Valley and then into one of the best canyon hiking destinations. Go west to the La CuevaPicnic area once you have paid at the visitor's center. The fork in the trail is not very long. You should take the left fork. The intersection of the Fillmore Canyon Trail to the left was paraphrased. Follow this trail for a short time. Water falls are a sensitive area and please keep that in mind. You can return via a reverse route if you want or take the Crawford trail to the visitor's center.
