6. The Pink Canyon Trail
Do you enjoy photogenic hikes? Visit the Pink Canyon off Mouse’s Tank Road. It’s named after its unique, pink tint. The trail is less than 0.4 miles long, so this canyon hike should take less than half an hour to finish.
The soft, sandy floor here in this beautiful sandstone canyon, reportedly helps keep things cool at least before noon. That’s why the best time to complete this trek is in the early morning hours. Not only will it be cooler, but the canyon’s colors –pastel pink, brown, green, orange, and white– are more striking too. The trailhead is 10 minutes away from the visitor center.
7. The Petrified Wood Trail
Wood you care to see something petrified? You can hike the park’s petrified logs loop. This easy, family-friendly trail is just a bit over a quarter of a mile in length and features a number of petrified logs.
You will find the trailhead immediately after the turn-off for popular Campground Road. Keep an eye out for a gravel stretch on the right. You can’t miss the petrified log signs. You won’t find this trailhead on Google Maps, so if you miss it you will have to get help at the visitor center.
