Crater Lake on a sunny winter day.
A free shuttle from the Chiricahua Visitor Center provides hikers transportation to the top of the Echo Canyon Trailhead. Sign-up is required prior to the 9:00 a.m. departure, so a little advanced planning is necessary…but you won’t regret it! Once at the top, the 4.2 mile (mostly downhill) trail winds through spectacular rock formations, many of which seem to defy gravity.
