The Pajarito Canyon Trail runs along a river in Pajarito Canyon. This scenic trail is often completed as a loop with the Nail Trail (the junction with this trail is more or less where the canyon ends), but you can actually take it to the top of Pajarito Mountain, which is home to a popular local ski area.
