The Closed Canyon Trail is a fun and easy 1.8-mile out-and-back hiking trail that goes through a slot canyon near Lajitas in Big Bend Ranch State Park. Winding along a river with beautiful natural scenery, the trail is primarily used for hiking and nature trips and rated as moderate. While mostly flat, the path has some rocks to scramble over, which can be slippery after the rain, and there is plenty of parking at the trailhead, along with a covered picnic table and benches. Dogs are allowed on this trail but must be kept on a leash.
