Guaje Canyon

Trail Overview

Guaje Canyon trail is marked as Forest Service Trail #282. The trailhead is easy to find at the bottom of Rendija Canyon and traverses the canyon bottom towards Camp May. You will travel through the burn scar created by the May 2000 Cerro Grande fire. The fires resulted in repeated flooding and damage to the canyon bottom. Expect moderate boulder fields and log jams caused by the flash floods making your way up to the exit Guaje Connector trail. There is typically a small stream of water flowing through the canyon.
