For an easy stroll or bike ride, strike out for Pugh Canyon, just north of the Coral Cliffs Golf Course. A dirt track meanders along the canyon floor beside the riparian zone, where you’ll see native willows and cottonwoods. A variety of birds frequent this area.

As you approach the head of the canyon, the trail narrows. Scramble over a few rocks and cross the small stream to the see the drip falls (1.6 miles from the trailhead).

Return as you came, or explore a spur route that begins 0.4 miles below the falls and leads northeast up a ridgeline. This route is steep in places as it climbs the Vermilion Cliffs. Pinion-juniper forest, slickrock, hoodoos, and sweeping views reward the adventurous.
