Great scenery, although the flies and mosquitoes were awful. A few steep paths down into the canyon but too wet for us to go down, but looked like gun

The scenery here is breath taking! The hike wasn't to hard for our family of 5. It was a bit muddy and slippery in sections from rain but it was still great. Would hike this area over and over!
