How much water have you seen on the Backbone so far?

The Mishe Mokwa Trailhead will lead you to a well-known feature of segment two, Sandstone Peak. At 3,111 feet it is the highest point in the Santa Monica Mountains. There’s just one problem, it isn’t sandstone at all - it is an igneous rock called breccia and as you’ll see, a variety of stones were captured and embedded by the magma. One-of-a-kind vistas punctuated by enormous rock outcrops dot this plateau area, and they will lure you to the only Wilderness Area in the Recreation Area.

Locations: Grand Canyon National Park

Down in the depths of Grand Canyon, along the Bright Angel Creek, lies one of the most notorious sections of the corridor trails. Called "The Box" for the walls towering over the trail, enclosing the hiker in a narrow passage of granite and schist, this section of trail is dangerously hot in the summer. The blackened stone radiates heat like a blast furnace, often exceeding 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. Spend a Minute Out In It in a section of The Box, and remember to cool off in the creek often!

Between the Manzanita Rest Area and Cottonwood Campground along the North Kaibab Trail, one can't miss the surge of Split Rock Falls.

When it's hot out, hikers are encouraged to get in the creek to keep their temperatures down. Take a Minute Out In It to take a dip!
