We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Dry Canyon yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Dry Canyon
“Great spot for some shooting, though as always people don't clean up after themselves.”
Super pretty in all the seasons when the canyon is open. There's usually only one or two groups of hikers hiking around.
Nice little hike at the end of the dirt road and good places to pull off on your way there to practice your gunmanship.
Free public shooting range from April to December. Clean up after yourself. You can drive up to it. There is also hiking if you drive to the end . The hike is all up hill until you turn around.
Great canyon with a trail at the end of the road. Water is actually running down parts of the river near the trail about a mile up (in April)
