Traveling along some of the most scenic trails in the area, this trek exhibits the best of the best! Due to the stimulating and picturesque scenes, you will likely be in the company of fellow adventurers enjoying the wilderness! Additionally, a section of the path, notably as you wander through the canyon, is rocky and uneven, so we suggest wearing sturdy footwear to avoid a rolled ankle.
