Take in the Views
Much of this hike follows the course of a spring fed stream follows. You will find yourself hopping the small stream, scrambling over boulders and climbing small rock areas to ascend to another level and continue. This is a great fun hike with a variety of sights to take in.Get a Closer Look
Sunglow trail has several little waterfalls (4 feet high) that are full of life and color. A sight you won’t want to miss is a tree that grows out of a giant boulder at the back of the box canyon. The tree has literally split the boulder in two with it’s roots and is a natural wonder to behold.
Do it at Your Own Pace
This may be a place children will enjoy as they can climb over boulders but parents or guardians should be close and make sure to assist on slightly difficult areas. This area is a fun place for all ages to explore.
