Many sections of this trail never look the same way twice, and this wash is a good example of constant change. Water is a powerful force that shapes soils as well as rocks. Water can build as well as erode. Plants nourished by water soften the landscape and make it possible for animals, birds, insects, and reptiles to live here. Listen and watch for signs of life as you proceed.
Signs of animals include the game trails that elk and deer create as they crisscross the washes that the Sound of Silence Trail follows. Don’t be tempted to follow these tracks up and out of the wash though — they will lead you through some rough territory!
