Government Canyon Hike 16 Mile Hike (Not for Beginners)

This will be a longer hike that takes us into the protected area before it closes for the season. This will take about 5-6 hours depending on the pace. You'll need to hike 2.5 mph to keep up with us. Bring plenty of water, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray and anything else you need. There will be opportunities to break off from the group and return to the beginning if you need to make it a shorter hike. Entrance fee or park pass is required, and you will need a reservation to guarantee a day pass for this hike. Meet at the Visitor Center.
