A rare experience to hike the canyon wet! |
This hike can be done in a loop if you combine Bell Canyon and a portion of the Behind The Reef Jeep Trail. Bell Canyon is nowhere near as spectacular as Little Wild Horse however and the distance to do the loop will have some frustrated. For a quick hike some like to just hike to the end of the slots of Little Wild Horse and back down. When the junction of Bell is reached you may decide to hike up Bell for a bit to add a little distance or just return to your vehicle. For those wanting the long hike, the loop is scenic and a good hike if you don't mind walking on the dirt road for a bit. For more pictures check out our Little Wild Horse Flickr Set.
