Hike the Hunter Canyon Trail
HikingEasySpringSummerYear-round
Wander through a lush riparian bottom alongside a seasonal creek, offering shade and greenery that contrasts sharply with the red cliffs.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for about 2 hours to complete the 4-mile round-trip trek at a leisurely pace.
- 2Carry at least two liters of water, as the canyon's high walls can trap heat despite the presence of greenery.
- 3Navigate to the trailhead via Kane Creek Blvd, following the paved road until it turns to graded gravel.
- 4Utilize the designated dirt parking area at the trailhead, which requires no fee or permit for day use.
- 5Wear water-resistant hiking shoes if visiting in spring, as the trail involves multiple shallow crossings of the seasonal creek.
- 6Scan the high sandstone walls about halfway in to spot the natural arch tucked into the upper cliffs.
