Description
This looped trail climbs the west side of the canyon for good views of several named features of the park, including the Three Patriarchs and the Streaked Wall. (During the main summer travel season, horseback rides are given on this trail, so you might run into churned up soil, dust and other horse souvenirs.) The trailhead is at the footbridge over the Virgin River.
