The trail offers a variety of scenery including distant views of pine-covered hills and a bird’s-eye view of Pine Canyon.
This trail travels through one of the most peaceful and verdant canyons below the Rim. Rocky Mountain maples, alders and oaks abound near the creek. Mixed conifers spread out on the canyon walls. Several dripping springs make Pine Canyon the epitome of a storybook scene where
yellow columbines and scarlet monkey flowers adorn fern-covered walls.
Off State Hwy. 87, 1.2 miles past its junction with State Hwy. 260.
