Guided Advanced Off-Trail Hike (April 2026)

This is a ~4 mile hike with ~550ft gain that explores the north side of the park. We'll travel through canyons and trek through sandy washes, spotting lesser-known petroglyph panels along the way. The second half of the hike features colorful rocks and the infamous 'Duck Rock.'
