White Cliffsのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The North Hogback Trail is well marked with signs and cairns. The dirt path features some switchbacks near the trailhead, but then becomes easier. The beautiful view from the top is well worth the hike.

North Hogback Trailhead has some parking on a dirt pull off from the dirt road, which is popular with ATVs. There are also signs showing the trails here.

Church Rock Loop is a trail best taken in a clockwise direction, as indicated by the signs. This trail has hikers walking on a larger rock rather than a traditional path at some points. If you're not comfortable placing your foot in small cutouts and climbing a staircase-like feature, it is best to avoid the Church Rock Loop, but the Church Rock Stem is still a great, traditional trail to enjoy. There are four sections with gains of a few hundred feet in elevation, with steps carved into the rocks. At the top, the trail flattens out more, and hikers can follow cairns the rest of the way.

The Church Rock Stem Trail leads to Church Rock Loop, winding through red rock formations and desert scrub. This area witnessed the largest uranium spill in U.S. history in 1979, releasing more radioactivity than the Three Mile Island accident just four months earlier.

Red Rock Park is Gallup’s most popular parks and recreation system, nestled among red cliffs created over 200 million years ago. The park has a convention center, rodeo grounds with horse stalls, a museum, and campgrounds.

Pyramid Rock, part of the Navajo Nation, can be reached by a Pyramid Rock Trail that leads to the summit of the peak, providing stunning views. At the top, a sign indicates the distance to cities like LA, Miami, New York, Seattle, and Albuquerque.

The Pyramid Rock Trail offers a steep climb with stunning views. The well-marked path leads hikers through wild sagebrush, sandstone rocks, and trees like juniper and pine. Plenty of parking is available near the southern base of Red Rocks Park.
