Itinerary description

This amazing 15km out and back trek has it all: wide open space, lush river basin, five water crossings, neon canyon, and the biggest reward of all “The Golden Cathedral” which could easily qualify as a natural wonder of the world. Go prepared as this hike is primarily without shade and a steady upward trek for the return trip.
