Quick Facts

Parking - Auto, Scenic View/Photo Spot

The trail is 3.3-miles-long with an elevation gain of 200 feet. Although starting out near Crab Creek, this trail promptly leads into the drier shrub-steppe habitat. After meandering past striking columnar basalt formations, the trail ascends, circling the top of a mesa and provides a beautiful view of the surrounding refuge landscape. You have to return back along the same trail. Allow 2-3 hours.
