in the last weekGood amount of parking here, and the trails are relatively short so you should be able to grab a spot as someone is heading out if it's full. The first trail is a very short, but relatively steep little hike to the top. Nice view, plenty of Petroglyphs to observe along the way and at the top, then you make your way back to the bottom. All in all, maybe 15 minutes or less of walking depending on how fast you're going. The second trail is also very short and has a few more Petroglyphs to look at as well as informational signs about the area. Little picnic areas and a restroom are nearby. I was probably in and out of the canyon within an hour, but it was an enjoyable visit, I would come again.
