Mosaic Canyon Trail Details
Mosaic Canyon gets its name from the fragments of rock conglomerated into the walls of the canyon. The hike, which involves some scrambling over slickrock, takes you into the narrow canyon with its polished walls, where you may sight bighorn sheep. It's just a quarter mile to the beautiful canyon narrows but you can venture further in to extend your hike. The trail begins at the Mosaic Canyon parking area, two miles from Stovepipe Wells Village on a gravel road off Highway 190.
