This was my first hike I've ever went on! It was pretty epic. Loved it. When you start it's pretty simple. The deeper you venture in, the more you start having to climb boulders. My seven year old daughter made it all the way up with ease too. Pretty fun hike. When you get to the very top you have to climb this huge rock that has really no grip. A lot of people stopped there before even seeing whats on top. Oh and more than half the hike isnt in the canyon lucky for us we went on a day it was over-casted.
