This trail consists of two view points the first one 0.8 miles from the carpark. The second is harder to get to 1.8 miles (2.9km) however the green coloured sands at the lookout are beautiful and there is some great scenery on the way.

Researchers at the university of Utah have concluded that is in fact a meteor crater. The evidence is a mineral only present on meteors. Signage has not been updated. Very cool.
