The Canyon View Loop Trail remains partially closed due to extensive damage from Tropical Storm Hilary on 8/20/23, so we will do an out-and-back hike instead. We will climb the switchbacks to the summit and enjoy great views while we continue along the Canyon View Trail. We will stop to eat a snack before returning the way we came, descending to Whitewater Canyon Road and following it back to the parking lot.
