Bring binoculars and linger awhile. It’s like looking into a time machine.
I led a group of Girl Scouts on this trail, starting at the Tawa Trail. It was great, just hot because of the lack of shade. Very easy, slight incline--just bring water!
Unexpected beauty. You cannot beat these views. Definitely worth your time.
Beautiful views
Very easy hike with some nice views of the area.
Simple hike most anyone can do. Good views. Better hikes in the park. You really see it all from the car already.
Pretty area, a must area if you stop at the National Park, you can walk as far as you want, don't have to complete to get a good view of the area
Good trail, easy walk, lots of stuff to see
Nice short easy trail with great views! It's like being on another planet.
Very similar to the landforms/ash mounds of the badlands, but nearly as many. These are MUCH more beautiful though with deep colors!
Awesome views. Its a miniature "grand canyon". Lots of wind, so leave your caps/hats in the car!
Easy walk with beautiful desert views--bring H2O.
A beautiful trail, with a simply stunning view of the Painted Desert!
