Difficulty: Fairly easy

Details: The shorter of two trails available at the Hickory Canyon site, this is a one way trail that offers some interesting views of rock formations and abundant foliage, and end at the bottom of a large bowl-like area with some impressive bluffs surrounding you on most sides. The trail is all downhill for the initial hike, and uphill for the return trip. The terrain is pretty mild for the most part, and easily negotiated by children and adults, though supervision is still recommended.
