You will have to make an effort to get to Hackberry Canyon, but the rewards are great. If you like overnight backpacking, the entire 20-mile canyon is scenic; but its first few miles are the most stunning, so it also makes an ideal destination for day hikers.

In these first few miles you will find one of the most colorful narrows in the region, an old homesteader's cabin, and if you travel up one side canyon, there is even an arch.
