Take in the Views

Like Burro Wash, Pleasant Creek has its own array of white stone. It is unique though, because of the mixture of Red Rock and the Navajo Sandstone. This mixture of red and white creates a beautiful view for any traveler.
 

Get a Closer Look

The cottonwood trees that line the creek bed will provide a beautiful accent to the meandering trail and white sandstone formations. Along the way you will have opportunities to leave the trail and ascend the rock slopes on either side of the creek. These elevated areas will provide long views in all directions.
