Fay Canyon & Arch
Fay Canyon
An easy short trail through a red rock canyon, where a hidden natural stone arch hugs the cliff wall.
Fay Canyon lies south of Boynton Canyon. The Fay Canyon Trail is about 3.7 km round trip with almost no elevation gain. It follows the floor of the red rock canyon through juniper and oak groves, making it suitable for families and visitors short on time. About 1 km in, a branch to the right climbs to Fay Canyon Arch, a natural arch hugging the cliff face so closely that it is easy to miss. The trailhead is beside Boynton Pass Road, with free parking, and no Red Rock Pass is required. In summer there is little shade, so bring plenty of water.
