This volunteer-led hike will take you on the 2.2 mile loop-trail into Rinconada Canyon, where you will learn about the history of the area - from the geology that shaped it to the Ancestral Puebloans and Spaniards that left their marks behind to the formation of the monument as the city grew up around it. Over 300 petroglyphs can be seen on this trail!
This hike is mostly level through sandy desert conditions - make sure you bring lots of water and good hiking shoes as well as sunscreen and other sun protection.
