Tyuonyi Overlook

The Tyuonyi Overlook Trail (2.1 miles roundtrip) starts at the Juniper Campground above the canyon and is an easy and enjoyable hike to an awesome overlook that lets you see down into Frijole Canyon and the ruins and beyond to the Sangre de Christo Mountains which is the southernmost end of the Rockies. It also offers an awesome view of Saint Peter’s Dome which was once part of the massive volcanic complex that leant the volcanic tuff to the area. Also while on the hike you’ll pass some exposed ruins giving you a tease of what’s below the rim to explore.
