Javelina Trail

Javelina Trail is a 0.7-mile one-way connector through Red Rock State Park’s pinyon-juniper woodland, linking the Apache Fire and Kisva trail junctions. The map marks Gray Fox near the Apache Fire end and Cathedral Overlook farther along. It’s a good short add-on if you want the park’s wooded side; choose a creekside trail if Oak Creek is the draw.

Start at the Apache Fire junction and follow Javelina northeast to Kisva. Allow about 20–35 minutes one way. The 0.7 miles covers the named segment only, not the walk from parking or the route back to your start. Retrace Javelina or continue on the linked trails for a longer outing.

The path is red earth with patches of exposed and embedded stone, running between pinyon, juniper and low desert shrubs. This is a short woodland walk with two marked viewpoints, not a summit hike or a creekside route.

Park at the Miller Visitor Center, where the map shows parking beside the central trail network. Use the marked paths to connect to Javelina; no parking is marked at its Apache Fire junction. The visitor center has restrooms and a gift shop. Pets are not allowed anywhere in the park, and visitors must stay on established trails to protect wildlife and habitat.
