First visit to Glen Helen in a few years. Park was in great shape, new bridge over the old dam was nice! Nature Center is always a good stop for a break and a snack.

We will only be in the area for one day - so if you had to choose between Clifton Gorge and Glen Helen which would you recommend? We will have 2 children with us as well, 8 & 4 so wondering if either place has locations to play in the waters/streams? Thanks so much for any advice!
