👍👍 A great way to spend the day! If you arrive before 9, you can drive into the canyon, otherwise you'll need to take the shuttle! The pueblo loop is wonderful and you can take it as slow as you want. It is an incredible and culturally rich place to visit!

Red Rock Trail

👍👍 Happy we discovered this easy-moderate hike through red rocks to a slot canyon. It’s a $10 per person entry that is paid at the Jemez Visitor Center. The bright green vegetation against the stark red rocks is a beautiful combination and should not be missed.

👍 It's a network of trail loops so you can pick you hike length. You can even connect to an additional trail network for long extended hikes.
