Mcinnis Canyons National Conservation Area (BLM_NCA) · Open Access
Remember your OUTDOOR ETHICS when enjoying your public lands. Please RECREATE RESPONSIBLY.
Devil's Canyon Trailhead offers exceptional hiking and horseback riding opportunities in a landscape of colorful intricate cliffs and deep canyons that tell a story shaped by shallow seas, a meandering river system, and ongoing uplift and erosion. There are many trail options and distances to choose from.
Please stay on designated trails. The National Conservation Area serves as an outdoor museum of the life and people that came before us. Paleontological (dinosaurs) and cultural sites help us understand our past. Please leave what you find. Enjoy rock art but please do not touch (oils from your hands contribute to deterioration).
From Grand Junction take I-70 west to Fruita (exit 19). Turn left and travel 1.5 miles to Kingsview Road and turn right. Stay on the main road to the trailhead (approximately 1.3 miles).
