| Hike Summary: | Best to go after it rains. This is one of the shortest 'hikes' but the trip and views is more than worth it. You will spend more time in the car getting there but when you do your mouth will drop. There is a dirt parking lot and you can get out and hike up about 1/4 of a mile. Although you can see it before you reach the parking lot and as soon as you get out of your car. You will see gorgeous hills that look like the have been painted shades of red and pink and black. It is a view you have to go see at least once in your life. I have gone countless times and it always amazes me. |
