WeekendQuickTrip Hiking

Continued from page 2 A wide range of hikes are available starting
with easy hikes up to “Strenuous” hikes.
Easy hikes are listed as “Short, smooth
walks with little change in elevation.” While
the Strenuous hikes are described as “Three
to eight hour hikes with elevation changes of
500 to 1,000 feet / 150 to 300 meters. Grav-
el and rock trail surfaces.”
An example of an easy hike would be the
Silver Spur Meadow Trail
ACCESS: Faraway Ranch, Visitor Center
or Campground
TRAIL: Beginning at the Faraway Ranch
Picnic Area, this leisurely walk leads you
through the Faraway Ranch Historic Dis-
trict to Stafford cabin, built in the 1880s.
Next is Silver Spur Meadow, home for Ci-
vilian Conservation Camp NM-2-A, Com-
pany 828 during the 1930s. The fireplaces
are remnants from the lodge of the Silver
Spur Guest Ranch in business from 1948
to 1968. Stream crossings can be hazard-
ous during spring snowmelt or the summer
rains.
An example of a moderate hikes would be
the Natural Bridge Trail
LENGTH: 4.8 miles/7.8 km round trip
No Pets
ACCESS: Small parking area along the Bo-
nita Canyon Scenic Drive, 0.5 mile/ 0.8 km
beyond the campground
TRAIL: The least used trail in the mon-
ument climbs through oak and juniper
woodlands to a ridge then drops into the
Apache pine forest of Picket Park. It ends
at an overlook for the small water-carved
bridge located across the canyon. Return
the same way.

And then for the more experienced hik-
er you have several options including the
Heart of Rocks Trail:
HEART OF ROCKS
No Pets
1. Visitor Center to Heart of Rocks and Re-
turn

This route consists of the Lower Rhyolite
Canyon, Sarah Deming and Heart of Rocks
Loop Trails.

LENGTH: 7.3 miles/ 11.8 km round trip.

ACCESS: Visitor Center Parking Lot

TRAIL: Lower Rhyolite Canyon Trail be-
gins as an easy level walk in the lower can-
yon forest, but soon starts climbing up Rhy-
olite Canyon. Sarah Deming Canyon gains
880 ft/268 m to reach the top of the ridge.
Heart of Rocks Loop has many of the most
unusual rock formations in the monument.
Start the loop to the left and hike clockwise
for the best views and easiest walking. Lots
of rock steps make this a challenging loop,
but it’s worth the effort.
