Love this canyon.

I have biked, run, and driven this canyon. It is amazing. The last visit was in a convertible, with the top down. Amazing! Even saw mountain goats at Bridal Veil Falls.

Scenic Drive!

We did a drive here one day it was very scenic. It was a beautiful canyon you drive through. There were several areas to pull off and take pictures. We also stopped at the waterfall called bridal veil falls.
