Overview

Park Avenue is a canyon whose sheer walls reminded early visitors of the skyscrapers along a city street, near the start of the park, with an easy paved viewpoint trail. You can hike down the canyon floor on a 2-mile (one way) trail to another trailhead, with a shuttle or car. The nearby La Sal Mountains Viewpoint has a 360-degree view from a flat sandstone bench.
