The Big Arsenic Springs Trail is a popular out-and-back trail located in the Wild Rivers Recreation Area of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. This trail starts at the rim of the mesa above the river, and drops quickly, descending about 600 feet down rocky, steep switchbacks to the Rio Grande. This 1.5 mile trail offers truly stunning views down the gorge as you hike. As you draw closer to the end of the trail keep an eye out for some ancient petroglyphs carved on the rocks above you. You can also link this trail with the River Trail if you wish to extend your hike.
