Welcome to the beautiful and unexpected Horsethief Canyon Trail; a two-and-a-half mile hike through Kanopolis State Park that takes you past a series of those “boring” native grasslands as well as magnificent sandstone bluffs, crevices, lakes, and intense canyons.

What else makes this trail so special, you ask? Why, it’s the stunning caves you’ll discover along the side trails, of course! Be sure to bring both your camera and hiking boots; you won’t want to miss seeing the caves up close.
