The Canyon trailhead is behind the Mountain Valley Water building.  You can see nice views of the Medical Arts Building and the Arlington Hotel from this trail.  It begins as a 150-yard serpentine path which was once part of the old carriage road, Canyon Street.  At the intersection with Oak Trail, take the right path.  This leads up the mountain around a novaculite outcropping and crosses West Mountain Drive.  The Canyon Trail intersects the West Mountain Trail just below a picnic area and overlook along West Mountain Drive.
