After an initial uphill section on a gravel trail, the Eagle's Nest Loop is a gentle, well-marked trail that takes you through sparse groves of pinyon pine, ponderosa pine, and Utah juniper, as well as smaller shrubs of sagebrush and Manzanita. While the entire trail offers fantastic views down Kyle Canyon, on the north side of the loop the trees are sparse and you have particurlaly good views of the steep limestone cliff-sides of Fletcher Peak to the north, but also amazing views of Griffith Peak, Cathedral Rock, and the Echo Cliffs to the west. You also can see sun-loving animals and plants like the sagebrush lizard and the prickly pear cactus on this open, scenic loop.
