In the Mesa Vista, the “regulars” all have their favorite routes and the “dunes” are a very active place, particularly first thing in the morning. Crisscrossed by numerous paths, the dune walks are generally classified as “easy.” The pungent aroma of silvery sage and mats of prickly pear cacti combine with bunchgrass and myriads of wild flowers at different times of the year, making for an ever changing tableau. This portion of the trail overlook the CN and CP railway lines and is great for train spotting enthusiasts.
The remainder of the trail will lead back to the parking area. The last portion is adjacent to private property. The property owner has been notified and welcomes hikers through this part of the trail. Please stay on the trail and respect the boundaries.
