Join a park ranger on a guided hike through the Western foothills of the Franklin Mountains.

Steep initial descent down old jeep road; transition to relatively well maintained trail with technical sections into the

canyon, leveling out along the ridgeline, then another steep and technical descent down the backside before

becoming an easy leisurely stroll down the trail. We’ll reconnect with the old jeep road and have one final steep

ascent back up to the start of the trail.
