This is a wonderful hike with interpretive signs starting at the end of the South Rim Road. It might be a short distance to Warner Point, but it's not the easiest of trails and the heat also can play a major role in its difficulty.

There are a bunch of shady benches spread out over the trail to catch your breath. Take every chance you get to enjoy the stunning views both north (West Elk Mountains), south (San Juan Mountain Range), and at the end of the trail (Gunnison River and the Black Canyon).
