    Really nice hiking trails from visitor center with great views and far fewer visitors than the nearby big national parks. Definitely worth a stop. Very helpful staff in visitor center.

    Good memories of a place I took my two sons in 2003. Back then I drove them up the riverbed in my 4 wheel drive. Now in 2022 the riverbed has dropped considerably. With new terrain the canyon is a bit deeper & can only be seen by foot. The hike is an adventure as you turn each corner to find a new view of the canyon walls.

    Rolled in before sundown. Set up the ol tent and slept peacefully. Outhouse wasn't too shabby. Hiked around and there are some great views. Good place to camp for free.
