The Canyon Trail is a 2.5-mile loop from the river to the top of the canyon and back to the river. Hikers cross a bridge over the Pecos River and turn (south), heading gradually up the canyon wall. The trail gives good views down to the river, and also has two interpretive signs part way up the side of the canyon. One discusses ruins of a nineteenth-century Spanish colonial threshing floor, used in processing grain. The other describes the Texas/Santa Fe expedition of 1841, which passed through this area.
