The 1-mile Blue Mesa trail is the most accessible way to immerse yourself in the otherworldly badlands of the Blue Mesa. There is a steep descent, but the trail is paved and mostly flat once you reach the bottom. An additional lookout about 1,000 feet further down the road from the trailhead allows visitors who aren't up for a hike to gaze into the Blue Mesa and the petrified wood deposit below.
