Back

The entry of the canyon looks rather imposing with large boulders.
But it is actually a lot simpler than it looks and after the boulders a rather flat wash makes hiking almost easy if it wasn't for the sand.
After the stopped mark the canyon gets very wide and less interesting to hike.
There is shade in the canyons on some places. And it can be windy.
