There are many better pics on here, really just wanted to give advise. If youre looking for decent 4 mile hike/walk the moody loop is nice. To get the best of the trail stick to the right and hike to the bridge. After the bridge the trail is meh. Not a whole lot of shade or views. Saw a squirrel.

Its amazing to me that this might be considered a hidden gem of FLG. Its had a unique history from 1000 years ago through modern times. Its a stunning place and the trails are inviting and easygoing. The Rio De Flag flows year-round through here. Check it out and support City of Flagstaff Parks!

Ok, so we were recommended this by a park ranger at Wupatki National Park and our expectations overcame the experience. But all in all a really cool place to visit right within city limits! No bathrooms on site so come prepared. The hike is nice and leveled until you reach the waterfall, for the best angle and to see some pictographs on the rocks, it does take a bit of an adventurous spirit to find a path to climb lower. But worth the heart pounding climb. And the trail goes on for miles along the stream and even further.

The initial smell was odd as its next to a water treatment plant, but it was a nice little hike to a beautiful waterfall. Saw some cute critters too.

Very family friendly hiking path that loops just under 4 miles. Markers with some fun and interesting information help ensure you see everything along the way. The petroglyphs were so well preserved, and the waterfall was a refreshing pick-me-up.

If you want to do some serious elevation on your hike, this is not the hike for you. If you want to hike 1 to 6 miles through pines, cross or walk by a stream and a waterfall and see some petroglyphs with a little bit of elevation, then this might be just the ticket for you. Also dog friendly so please leash your pup as there were many families close to the trail head with their 4 legged family members.

Tom Moody Loop was a joy to see so much different scenery in a short distance.

Absolutely beautiful! The waterfall was so pretty and tranquil. Beautiful wooded trails. Definitely would go here again.

Excellent trail, very easy and friendly for all ages and species. Spots of the trail are immensely beautiful, such as the waterfall and felled trees that litter the area. Even spotted an elk rummaging the forest. Additionally there are drawings from indigenous people’s that lived in the area around a thousand years ago.

Great easy hike. Waterfall. Pithouse. Bridge.

The Tom Moody loop trail is a nice walk in the woods. 2.8 miles. Not much elevation gain, and gentle grades. Easy walking except for a stretch of deep black sand. The petroglyphs are worth a look. And the waterfall is a nice surprise and a good spot to stop for a break.

Very easy walk that has alot to show including wildlife, petroglyphs, water fall and many other things. Highly recommend for all ranges of hiking.

Very well maintained hiking trails, brochures, petroglyphs and wildlife.

Beautiful & quiet hike. Pretty easy in terms of difficulty, but decent length at almost 4 miles from the trailhead and back again.

Simply beautiful! Peaceful.

It was so good to walk around. The area is really big and quiet. It needs to put more signs in the trail as it could confuse the trailer easily. The place was nice for those who want to stay away from crowds. Be careful when you bring young kids here as it could be dangerous if they play near the cliff.

Fun short hike to a cool little waterfall

Gorgeous spot tucked just right outside town! Fun hike with a waterfall in easy reach, great for meditation!

The scenery was beautiful. The waterfalls were nice, petroglyphs were Beautiful. The only complaint my husband and I had was the trail was poorly marked. We were first time hikers got lost twice. Not sure of where we were going. Would really like to know how far it was up and back. The only thing I can find is 2.5 miles and I think thats one way not sure.

Awesome place, hidden gem

Once you walk the first few hundred yards from the trail head area where some have complained about a smell, the rest is beautiful to stunning.

Beautiful trail, well marked, great hike for all

Great place for hiking, biking, bouldering!

Great place for a quick hike

If you are looking for a moderate hike with great information stops along the way down the mountain and steady uphill accent to the finish;this area is a challenging hike!!

A really lovely loop hike. Once you get past the odd smell of the water treatment plant, its quite nice. Ive done this Trail a few times over several years, and the first couple of times I ended up kind of lost or on other trails. The last time I did this Trail, only about two weeks ago, it seemed they had better Trail markers. For a hike in town, I would highly recommend it.

Very nice hike, not very demanding with a small Waterfall in the Tom Moody loop at the end (taking the loop clockwise) and some hieroglyphics at about 2/3. Small parking lot. Pay attention to the orange signs worth arrows to indicate the path. About 1/3 of the trail does not have tree shade, so early morning and late afternoon worked better for me.

Great hike for kiddos and people with reduced mobility. Choose your difficulty level.

Trails all over the place and the waterfall is beautiful!

Awesome views

Well maintained and well marked trails. The brochure at the trailhead was nice. Unfortunately you could smell the water reclamation plant for about half of the trail (although we did go on a particularly windy day).

Awesome place to hike. Its more of a walk with some inclines. Im completely out of shape and enjoy coming here often. I take the shorter route which I believe its about 2.5 miles round trip. Once you get past the smell of the water treatment plant its a peaceful place. Be sure to use the map at the beginning of the trail to see all the petroglyphs and the waterfall.

I totally loved the hike but would have appreciated more detailed signs on the trails. The one sign we finally did find in the middle of our hike had the trails pictured but there was no You are here spot, so we had no idea which trail we were on. We were kind of lost and wanted to find the petroglyphs and waterfalls. We stumbled on two sites merely by accident. Also, Google maps had us start the trail in a weird location. Again, the sign was so small we almost missed it, and it had no info at all. A detailed map would have been great!

A perfect walk/hike. Peaceful.

Easy hike with a nice waterfall. We pulled a wagon with no problem. Scenic and cool.

The walk here is very peaceful, and the waterfall is pretty impressive. For people saying the waterfall is hard to find, go on the east side of the creek and then follow the trail north. When you hear water off to your left, walk that way until you see the cliff edge overlooking the waterfall.

Good birding and interesting marsh plants. Black Phoebes, Common Yellowthroats, many swallows

Beautiful scenery and trails to suit everyone. Wildlife watching, waterfalls, petroglyphs, and more!!

A nice hike with a few interesting Petroglyphs.

Picture Canyon is a great walk. Very easy trails there are several options big loop med loop. The parking is by water treatment plant but the smell goes away within 1/4 mile. Do not let your dogs drink from the creek. We have seen coyotes, elk,deer in the area. It is never crowded. Enjoy

Great place to hike in town. Nice waterfalls that flow almost year round. Easy trail, bring your kids

Place would have never known was there

My honey and I are goi g to this place again

This is the first time Ive had to give a trail a one star rating. Lol. There were a million mosquitoes, in winter, and awful sewer smell. Couldnt make it to see anything cool.

Clam and nice...

Hiking in Flagstaff and theres a waterfall. Super cool.

So beautiful and quiet. Went for a field trip with my daughters class and Willow Bend Enviromental Education Center guided us through it. We learned so much and the kids loved it! The waterfalls are a must see!

Beautiful spot for a relaxing hike...

The main trails are dull, but wow, when you get off of them by the actual canyon on the foot trails it sure is beautiful. I didnt know this existed in flagstaff. Connects to the Arizona trail, which is much nicer.

Ive lived in Flagstaff most of my adult life but hadnt ever taken the time to go and check out Picture Canyon. Wow, what a treat! Great place for a family walk (as short/long or easy/difficult as you want), and interesting petroglyphs, and beautiful wildlife (including a tarantula crossing the path).

This was a very fun hike. We happened to see a whole heard of elk ! The only thing that sucks is it smells funky outside, so dont expect that breath of fresh air out in nature lol

Lovely trails, loads of birdlife

We hiked part of the trail this morning, and it was absolutely stunning. I have never hiked before and I was wearing shoes with very bad traction for snow, but I was still able to hike a mile in and back out. Highly recommend this beautiful area.

Some cool scenery including a creek w/ a small waterfall. Nice if youre looking for an easy hike.

Great place to go hiking

Use Tom Moody trail for a nice loop through Picture Canyon. Super easy 4ish mile trail. Really cool waterfall & info about the old train tracks at the beginning of the trail. Also real petroglyphs, that people have unfortunately added their own new designs to...

This place is great. food always good and service is excellent!

Has a great waterfall! Overall a wonderful little hike and escape for the day.

Nice new Park. Trails were groomed and marked well.

Its beautiful, but only after you get away from the water treatment plant towards the entrance.

Nice hike in Ponderosa forest with well marked trails.

Beautiful walk/run/biking to exercise and breathtaking scenery.. bring the fam out.

Amazing scenery. A wide range if nature in a short walk. Lots to see.

This is the only waterfall in Flagstaff. Highly recommend.

This is a great cultural preserve. Plz. do not touch rock art or take anything.

Industrial hike. Trailhead is between a Gas Plant & Sewer Plant. Glad to see trails around, but this one is a little stinky!

Great hike through a canyon filled with petroglyphs. There is no real trail, so you have to explore to find the petroglyphs, and pottery shards. Eventually the canyon levels out to a stream and you reach a bridge. Keep going past the bridge and follow the stream on the left hand side a ways to find rocky areas with more petroglyphs. Please be respectful of petroglyphs and other cultural resources.

Please Leave no trace and no graffiti. This is a special place in.

2 mile round trip hike... so worth the hike!

I want this place to remain secret-ish

Nice hike, excellent glyphs

Petroglyphs are cool

Amazing hiking area

Loved it

Amazing

Gotta dig for the images...

Great birdspot

A hidden gem, for lack of a better description.
