Length: 3-mile loop.
Difficulty: Moderate-to-difficult.
Trailhead location: About 2 miles east of the Quarry Visitor Center on the Tour of the Tilted Rocks auto tour road.
Brochure: Available at trailhead and at visitor centers.
Description: A hike through several of Dinosaur's most interesting rock layers. Excellent geologic diversity. Some steep sections on slickrock.
Special considerations: Be sure to use the trail guide, even if you plan to return it at the end of your hike, since portions of the trail can be confusing. There is no shade. This trail ties in with Desert Voices Trail via a 1/4-mile connector trail.
