What To Expect:
The Hidden Canyon Bowen Loop Evening Hike is a moderate desert hike that explores a scenic canyon and ridgeline as the sun begins to set. Participants can expect rocky and uneven trail sections, gradual elevation changes, and a few steeper climbs along the loop. The hike moves at a steady but relaxed pace with breaks to enjoy views, desert plants, and changing evening light. Temperatures may cool quickly after sunset, and the trail can be dim in low light, so comfort hiking in the evening and wearing sturdy footwear is important. This hike is a great fit for those looking for a peaceful desert adventure and beautiful sunset views without technical terrain.
