Skunk Canyon

Lower Chautauqua Parks’ Skunk Canyon is accessible by the paths to the Enchanted Mesa or Kohler Mesa.
Skunk Canyon is low, on the east end of the park, dips up and down into some very green and flowery parts, and then up to some rockier, drier areas.
Start from behind the rehearsal hall and take it up to half way between NCAR and Chautauqua, at which point you circle back to Chautauqua on the Mesa Trail.
2 hrs max. Easy. Gorgeous.
The only man made sounds I could hear for a stretch were my own footsteps.
