The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate well before and during the hike

Bring at least 1 liter of water per person and sip frequently; desert air and elevation dehydrate quickly.

Wear traction-ready shoes

Choose shoes with grip for slickrock and uneven desert footing to keep transitions between yoga and hiking safe.

Sun protection is non-negotiable

Wide-brim hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses protect you during exposed trail sections and clifftop yoga sessions.

Respect quiet at meditation stops

Keep voices low and electronic devices muted to preserve the practice and other visitors’ experience.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Quiet slickrock benches near mid-trail clifftops for private meditation
  • A seasonal wash off the main route that blooms with wildflowers after winter rains

Wildlife

  • rock squirrel
  • red-tailed hawk

Conservation Note

Practice Leave No Trace: stay on durable surfaces to protect cryptobiotic soils, carry out all waste, and limit group noise during meditation to minimize impact.

This area sits on lands historically inhabited by Yavapai and Apache peoples and features red sandstone formations carved over millions of years.
