About This Trail

Imported description

This hike has lots of different sites and smells. The naturally occurring asphalt was used to seal the basketry. The narrows are a slot like canyon that contains layers of rock formations. The Towsley Canyon loop trail is called the Towsley Canyon Trail after the passage through the narrows. The trail heads into Wiley Canyon after a steep and winding descent that includes stunning views of lush hillsides and canyons. Go down the canyon after joining a dirt road. Take the Canyon View loop Trail left after almost a mile of hiking and you'll be able to return to Ed Davis Park.
