Route Description for Sunset View Trail
The Sunset View Trail is a short but sweet walk out to an astonishing scenic lookout. This trail, like many in the area, culminates at a lookout on the edge of the steep cliffs. Make sure to keep your little ones close and always stay on the marked path to avoid any dangerous terrain.
The Sunset View Trail lookout is just a few short steps away from the parking lot. Walk north along the marked path to the fenced in lookout. Bask in the grandeur of the cliffs and spot the rocky spires and keyholes below. This trail is best enjoyed as the sunsets over the Canyon.
After enjoying all the scenery that the Black Canyon has to offer, retrace your steps back to your car.
