    Hiking

    On this 1 mile roundtrip, you descend from the mesa and hike on the alternately paved and gravel trail loop. It offers the unique experience of hiking among badland hills of bluish bentonite clay as well as petrified wood. If you look closely, you might find plant and animal fossils in the sedimentary layers of Blue Mesa.

    Hiking

    Blue Mesa Trail is a 1.4 kilometer heavily trafficked loop trail near Holbrook, Arizona. It leads past wonderful viewpoints. Due to the incline and distance, the route is suitable for all performance levels. Here you can go hiking and walking. The route is accessible all year round. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a leash.
