Description

Winding rock laden trail that descends into a beautiful valley of spired peaks and lush desert foliage. Very well maintained loose pack trail as you descend down. Several beautiful shaded benches offer refreshing rest points.

You eventuality come to a fork that takes you into the craggy canyon. Man made stairs allow safe passage through the canyon. Hike to the end for majestic views of The Window. Out and back makes for a nice several hour journey. Early and mid morning shade give way to direct sun before noon.
