Widforss Trail follows the canyon rim for approximately 21/2 miles/4 kilometers then heads into the forest to emerge at Widforss Point?a distance of 5 miles/8 kilometers one way (10 miles/16 kilometers round trip). This brochure is keyed to numbered stops along the first 21/2 miles of trail, giving hikers a 5-mile round-trip self-guided hike along the most scenic portion
of the trail.Although shaded for much of the route, the trail can be hot: carry water with you. Take note of the altitude here: at 8,000 feet/2,500 meters above sea level, even the most relaxed stroll can be exhausting. Allow approximately two hours for the 5-mile round trip.
