Pueblo Loop Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 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!

Las Conchas Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 This is a great trail for all ages. I took the little kids 4 and 6 along with their grandparents and it was a beautiful hike. We only did a little more than a half mile out but between the stream and views everyone had a great time. Perfect spots for picnics and the little ones to splash and play in...

Embudito Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 My favorite trail to South peak. First two miles are no shade but the rest is beautiful. Almost 12 miles round trip. And the most Elevation change out if all the trails if you are looking for a challenge. I made my new record on this day 4 hours and 1 minute.

Kiwanis Cabin

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Definitely worth the easy hike! Views are insane. Cabin is awesome as well, but I could see how mass crowds could ruin everything. We went on a weekday in October, and was not really the warmest or calmest day at all. There were two people there when we just got to the cabin, but nobody else the re...
