    Being from Vermont, this hike was very different for me. The cliffs and desert are beautiful! Take that easy reading with a big grain of salt! I hike a lot, and I’m used to some rough going, but there is a very short section of this trail just before One rises onto the Mesa, which is very exposed wood bad footing. That’s followed by a very short but very challenging little chimney through the rocks very much, a hands and feet scramble, which makes coming down more challenging than going up. Getting up there is worth it but even if you stop before that the scenery is amazing.
