Canyon National Recreation Trail at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge

Posted by on May 29, 2017

This was much more like it!  Very fun trail with lots of great views.  A great start of the season hike!

From the website:

(2.2 miles) This trail takes visitors through native Chihuahuan desert and into Solitude Canyon, a deep ravine carved into sandstone by flash floods over the ages. Scenic vistas of the canyon and the refuge are favorite photo opportunities. The abundance of burrows, holes, nests, and middens gives evidence to the snakes, lizards, birds, bats, rabbits, kangaroo rats, and other desert wildlife that are active along the trail, especially in the cooler morning and evening hours. This trail loops through the southern edge of the Indian Well Wilderness Unit.

My Stats:

Distance: 2.60 Miles

Time: 56:12 minutes

Elevation: 4,347 ft

Elevation gain: 292 ft
