Hart trail is located in ponderosa, pinyon-pine and juniper types. This is a very scenic trail that heads down to the Chama River Canyon Wilderness from the canyon rim. Hart trail is great for hiking, fishing at the Chama River, horseback riding, camping and picnicking. The vistas offer great opportunities for photo shots! The trail begins at the edge of the canyon and descends 400' within 1/2 mile after several switch-backs.
No motorized vehicles or equipment allowed on trail or wilderness area.
