Kilmer’s Grandeur

The outing is almost over once you cross the bridge, but if you desire more hiking, make a left turn onto the Naked Ground Trail, which will deliver you to more than 50 miles of pathways coursing through the 17,394 acres of the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness. If you are done for the day, return to your car, celebrating the final lines of Kilmer’s verse:

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.
