Need to Know

Watch out for cactus, some exposure, and a couple brief technical features that could be hike-a-bike for many.

Description

Intermediate-difficulty trail lovers will definitely enjoy this fast and flowy trail that offers great views of tall canyon walls and Grape Creek way way down below. Though you're never far from Temple Canyon Road, this trail offers a remote, backcountry feel.
