Deer Trap Trailhead
Hiking area
ππ A relatively easy hike - you are following a train system on the top of several mesas, so hardly any elevation changes along the way - with breathtaking views. A little bit of rock climbing is needed, but it's not bad and rather fun. So if you have a couple free hours, grab a big bottle of water and...

Mitchell Trailhead
Hiking area
ππ My family and I used this trail to get to the Natural Arch (see pic), and it was great! We used Alltrails, and it describes the trial as moderate, 1.7 mi treck. For the most part it was, up until you get to the foot of the mountain. Its actually a very tricky climb, and extreme caution needs to be t...
