Een'oog Trail

Once the trail passes the intersection with the U’waiv Trail (heading west), the Een’oog Trail becomes narrow and rocky, and has steep exposure along the rim that may make it unsuitable for young children.

(0.3 miles) Turn left onto the Upper Graveyard Trail heading west to the Tempi’po’op Trail (0.3 miles) Cross the trail onto the Een’oog Trail. Een’oog means “old ones” in the Southern Paiute language. Ancestral Puebloans and Southern Paiutes lived in this area and are closely connected to the land.
