Description

This trail is a great hike near the Arkansas River with some beautiful views from the river bluffs. Tight turns and the occasional bridge make this a nice hike. Be prepared for some short steep climbs.

There are a few rocky sections up dot the eastern end of the loop.

Plenty of parking at the trailhead and bathrooms are sometimes available plus a pavilion.

This downed tree has an old cable attached that can be used to rap to the bottom of a bluff.

Awesome little spot! "Graffiti Rocks" were pretty neat, and fun to climb on! Easy trail to get lost on, if you plan to do the entire loop use a map. — 2h 25m

I am not sure this trail is actually 5 miles,but still a decent hike. It is more of a mountain bike trail so can be narrow and steep at times. 2mi
