The trail follows the scenic views along the Rio Grande. The trail is 1.8 miles of compacted soils and grasses that leads you through a small riparian area. It is a nice peaceful walk for enjoying a variety of wildlife. Visitors may see songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, porcupines, coyotes, mule deer, and elk, just to name a few species.
One of the spectacular views one will see along the trail is Mt. Blanca. Mt. Blanca is one of Colorado's Fourteeners and is located in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
The trail is maintained by the Refuge staff and is used by a variety of visitors, from school children on field trips to adventurous people enjoying what nature has to offer them.
