Fletcher Canyon Trail begins by wandering through open stands of pinyon pine, ponderosa pine, manzanita and mountain mahogany trees. The trail makes an easy ½ mile ascent up to a peaceful spring where wild rose, columbine, shooting stars and ferns thrive in the lush, cool environment.
The path then drops into the streambed and may require some rock scrambling to continue. This is the end of the maintained trail. Use caution when climbing over the rocks, many are worn smooth by the water and are dangerously slick even when dry.
