About This Trail
The National Trail crosses the park from the east to the west. There are moderate ups and downs on the hike. The east half of the trail is where the majority of the traffic comes from. The Pima Canyon trail leads to the start of the national trail. The park's National Trail skirts the ridges of the park, and then it ends on the west end of the park. There are abandoned mines and rock formations along the way. The views of the valley are amazing.
