An up close view of the hills and their texture.
The boardwalk that brings you up close to the hills.
The Painted Cove area from the parking lot. The yellow and red hills can be explored up close.
A sign urging visitors to stay on the trail.
The trail comes back to the boardwalk and parking area, with views of Carroll Rim park and other hills in the distance.
The trail climbs away through the hills and through an area of drainage that has shaped the hills over the years.
The trail climbs a small hill and the views open up. You can see the private land just beyond the monument boundary, and the hills that you just traveled by.
