Stops on this route
- Lazar's Canyon
- Lazar's Cave — Cave near the canyon head where the main trail starts and is paved just to the left.
Useful for your trip
- Transport
- The main trail to the canyon starts just to the left of Lazar's Cave and is paved at first; the trail gets rougher after about 10 minutes of hiking.
- Transport
- For the fastest route to viewpoint two (Vidvata) from the cave, set Google Maps to viewpoint two; setting it to viewpoint one routes you the long way around by road.
- Transport
- Viewpoint one has decent signage from viewpoint two; at the junction, go left for viewpoint two and right for viewpoint one. Don't rely on Google Maps once you're up there.
- Transport
- Cyclists should use the nicer road to reach viewpoint one; the final trail section is rough and hard to carry a bike on.
- Timing
- The hike involves a lot of elevation gain right from the start near the cave; the short hike to the viewpoints is steep but takes under 20 minutes to viewpoint two.
- Avoid
- Campfires appear to be illegal at the viewpoints, and summer is wildfire season, so follow fire laws and avoid making fires.
- Timing
- The creator visited on a hot day and decided not to do a full day trip including the cave because dogs were along and likely not allowed inside the cave.
- Tip
- Bring water and be prepared for heat in summer; the canyon walls are steep and the hike has significant uphill sections.
