Route Description for Marshall Lake to Fisher Point Hike
Fisher Point is a viewpoint over Walnut Canyon not far outside of Flagstaff in the Coconino National Forest. Walnut Canyon is quite beautiful, and you can appreciate the layers of rock visible in the canyon walls, which are the same layers you’d observe in the nearby Grand Canyon. Also, appreciate that there used to be a thriving pueblo community in this canyon!
This route to the canyon is the longest one commonly taken to get there, but there isn’t that much elevation gain, so it’s doable in a long day. Bring lots of water.
The route to Fisher Point from Marshall Lake has you hike through part of a connecting canyon, which is a gorgeous part of the trail. The scenery won’t disappoint. From the trailhead, take the AZT-Walnut Canyon towards the canyon. Pass Marshall Mesa Tank and cross a ravine. The route weaves back and forth before beginning a switchback descent into the canyon. Hike along the canyon floor. Fisher Point will be ahead of you once you reach the intersecting canyon. From here, turn back and retrace your steps.
