    About

    The Canal Trail is a short and easy hike suitable for most skill levels, spanning 1.80 miles at an elevation of 9188 feet. The trail is accessible year-round, from January through December, and typically takes about 54 minutes to complete.

As the trail follows a canal, the route may be prone to icy or snowy conditions during winter months, so hikers should be prepared with appropriate footwear and gear.
