A long day trip but worth every minute to an isolated desert canyon park. The drive to the park is through the desert so once again, take water along. There are very few places to stop along the way. Stunning.
We spent the entire day hiking the canyon and crawling rock formations. Wear sturdy shoes and remember the desert wildlife includes snakes so when you go off the trail pay close attention.
A definite "must" for the more adventurous. Most of the day we were alone as we scrambled over the rocks and, as sunset drew near, it was a little eerie.
