Description
With views of the Manzano Mountains and the ponderosa parkland at the bottom of David Canyon, this hike is reminiscent of the Flagstaff area and not to be missed. In addition to the spectacular scenery, this area has plenty of birds to enjoy. Our hike is approximately 3.3 miles with a total elevation descent and gain of around 400 feet, and is rated as a moderate trail. No restrooms available. Limited enrollment.
