Red Rock Canyon Trails

Red Rock Canyon features two wonderful nature trails.

The Rough Horsetail Nature Trail is located in the Caddo Maple Conservation Area portion of the park at the bottom of the steep entrance hill. This 0.4 mile loop trail is marked with interpretive signs. Trail difficulty is mild.

The California Road Nature Trail is located in the California Road Campground. It is a 0.2 mile round trip dead end trail that takes you to a beautiful canyon overlook. The trail has an information display at the trailhead. Trail difficulty is moderate, due to the steep incline of the trail.

Caution! While hiking is permitted along the canyon rim, there are no maintained hiking trails in that area. The sandstone around the canyon rim can be very unstable and slippery and extreme caution is advised. It is recommended that you stay away from the canyon rim itself.
