Description
This is a short, easy trail. It goes through a narrow, red sandstone canyon. Some rocks are covered with Native American rock art. Mouse's Tank is at the end of this trail. Mouse's Tank is a natural water catchment made out of sandstone that holds water. It's best viewed early in the morning or just before sunset. Don't forget to take water with you. It's hot.
