Before you go
Conditions, access, and honest warnings.
- Mostly flat and partly paved, with shuttle stops all along it so you can walk one way and ride back.
- The single best effort-to-view ratio at the canyon, and the only rim option in icy conditions.
- Sections are unfenced. Stay back from the edge, especially on wet or snowy rock.
