The Moenkopi / Calico I Loop is officially ~3.3 miles. Amora & I found a way to add a little distance and a little more elevation gain by adding a few other trails to the pot. We parked at the Red Rock Canyon NCA Visitor Center and joined the Grand Circle Loop / Moenkopi Trail to the left of the Visitor Center's parking lot. Turning right at the first junction and then left at the next trail junction, we traversed over toward the base of Moenkopi Hill and climbed up to the Calico I parking lot. From there, descend to the overlook and turn left. Do the loop here by climbing up the hill and dropping down into the red rock. Next, join the Grand Circle Loop going back toward Calico I. Continue across the overlook and take the trail that traverses the hill on the right until you find a trail leading off to the right. This trail junctions with a trail that comes down from the right. Finish the hill up and continue on the Grand Circle Loop all the way down to the Red Rock fee booth and across the road up to the Visitor Center. Hmm. Did you get all that? If you know Red Rock trails pretty good, I'm sure you did. Anyway, it is a very enjoyable 4.25 miles with red rock everywhere!

Stats: 4.25 miles; 800' gain
