Walnut Canyon Rim Trail
About
Easy • 0.7-0.8 miles • Loop • 30-45 minutes
A scenic rim path with stunning canyon views and access to pueblo and pithouse ruins. The first 150 feet is ADA accessible, so it works for strollers and wheelchairs at least for the start. Dogs are welcome on a leash. A beautiful, easier alternative if the Island Trail feels like too much.
