Description
Start hiking north out of the Chuckwalla trailhead parking lot, following an obvious wide path. Pass a large sandstone cliff on your right, an area frequented by rock climbers. After following the Chuckwalla trail for 1.0 mile, you'll reach the Turtle Wall Trail. Follow the Turtle Wall trail up a well marked path past a rock arch. The trail then climbs up singletrack and across slickrock slabs before reaching Paradise Rim. Once on Paradise Rim Trail, go down a series of naturally built rock steps that hug the rim. Continue on this path until looping your way back down to the Chuckwalla trail, which will take you back to the parking area.
