Itinerary description

My fam and I did a loop starting from the upper parking lot. We descended through the Gorge Trail and returned ascending the North Rim Trail.

• Lovely weather in early September
• GO EARLY! (especially on weekends) There were already crowds around 9am. Park opens at sunrise do go as early ss you can/want to enjoy the calmer time in the nature.
