A shaded out-and-back trail follows the West Fork of Oak Creek through a narrow canyon of red rock walls and forest. It crosses the creek 13 times on stones and logs, and fall leaves color the canyon in late October.
Highlights
- Thirteen creek crossings
- Mayhew Lodge ruins
- Wading beyond trail's end
Good to know
