- Canyon
A side canyon of Oak Creek Canyon, walked rather than viewed: the trail follows a stream between cliffs the Forest Service calls dizzying, crossing the water repeatedly on stepping stones. It is maintained and easy for the first three miles, and runs another eleven into wilderness beyond that. The Forest Service calls it one of the most popular trails on the Coconino National Forest; dogs must be leashed, nothing mechanised is allowed, and a day-use fee applies at the Call of the Canyon car park.
