| Around the Bend Friends in Ice Box Canyon |
A good hike to start the fall season in Red Rock Canyon NCA is Ice Box Canyon. It's cooler in there even when the summer heat continues into October. David Hardy led us from the trailhead located on the Red Rock Scenic Loop (near MM 8) down across the Red Rock Wash and up along the rocky trail into the canyon in front of us. Finally, the trail drops down into the rocky wash and an easy scramble ensues. If any of the scrambles become too difficult ... or even impossible ... seek a use trail to your left (south side of canyon). At the end of the canyon, as you near the seasonal waterfall, a tree scramble rises on your left and allows you access to a rock shelf where it is comfortable to sit. (See above.) After the group took a short break and returned to the cars, we were all in good spirits.
Stats: 2.5 miles; ~500' gain
