This trail travels through one of the most peaceful and verdant canyons below the Rim. Rocky Mountain maples, alders and oaks abound near the creek. Mixed conifers spread out on the canyon walls. Several dripping springs make Pine Canyon the epitome of a storybook setting abundant with yellow columbines and scarlet monkey flowers.| Elevation desc | South end: (5,000 feet elevation): at Highline Trail 31, near Pine Trailhead North end: (7,200 feet elevation): off State Hwy. 87, 1.2 miles past its junction with State Hwy. 260 |
