About This Trail

Imported description

Go to the Red Canyon Visitor's center and then walk to the Red Canyon Bicycle Trail. Head west on the Red Canyon Bicycle Trail, and then turn left when you reach the Golden Wall Trail. There is a fork in the trail after just over one mile, where the western route stretches along the Golden Wall trail, but the eastern one goes back up to the Golden Wall Trail. Continue through and you will find the Buckhorn Trail which leads to the Red Canyon Campground. The route from there will take you over Highway 12 and to the visitor's center.
