Trail Overview

This beautiful, easy, out-and-back trail weaves its way through the Red Cliffs desert reserve. Scattered primitive camping and shooting areas at the beginning of the trail. Once you begin reaching the end (overlook), the trail will make its way down the hill towards the river bottom. Option to turn around at the top of the hill if you don't want to go down to the river.

The trail has lots of ruts caused by water runoff some up to 12 in deep. Beautiful views at the surrounding area. Somewhat of a bumpy ride. Rating 2 makes sense.
