4.54 mi
/ 1293 ft gain
The first mile is flat and deceivingly easy as you walk under a highway bridge and in between looming canyon walls. But don't get too comfortable -- at around the 1.5 mile mark you will reach the first of eight ropes along the trail and the challenge begins. You will need to use these ropes to maneuver down large rocks and boulders. There are arrows spray painted on the walls to help with di...

Sand Harbor Beach

This is what you would call a family beach. It is clean, beautiful, and well maintained.
