This trail first leads to the Rim Overlook and is 2.3 miles (3.6km) one way. It then continues onto Navajo Knobs which is a total of 4.7 miles (7.6km) one way from car park. From Navajo Knobs you're rewarded with a 360 degree mountain top panorama!

The Hickman Natural Bridge can be seen pretty well on the way up. If you're not planning on going afk the way to Navajo Knobs, I'd go a little beyond the Rim Overlook to see The Castle, especially in the morning. Awesome view from Navajo Knobs. Worth the hike for sure .
