The Sound of Silence Trail is a 3.2-mile roundtrip with about 400 feet elevation change. It winds through an intermittent creek bed, a so-called wash, and shows you the diverse geology with rock layers, desert badlands and steep slickrock. You will be treated with excellent views of Split Mountain and an area called the Racetrack. Some sections of the trail can be difficult to navigate. If you like to extend your hike, take the short connector trail to combine this trail with the Desert Voices loop trail.
