Mid July 2022. Very nice hike with a spectacular waterfall at the end. In the summer, start early and bring plenty of water. Highly recommend this destination

this is only difficult in summer, when it’s like walking through a sandbox in an oven - there’s minimal elevation change but with 100° heat and no available treated water along the trail it’s a serious hazard for the unprepared and has resulted in multiple cases of heat exhaustion - in cooler weather especially after a rainfall to pack the sand, it’s much easier

I hiked this loop in the beginning of December and it was so pretty and also completely empty. I was the only person on the trail and pretty much had the canyons to myself. Totally unreal and beautiful. Not that difficult of a hike though, only took a a couple hours. Definitely recommend!!

Did this one Thanksgiving weekend 2018. Weather was perfect with a light puffy jacket I took on and off. Lots of fall color. Worth the (beautiful) drive there, too!
