    It is smaller canyon than Santa Elena, however as beautiful as the other one. On the way to the canyon we had a roadrunner escorting us , probably hoping for food.

    The walk was easy; the views lovely and the offering of fresh fajitas along the trail an interesting experience. Not to be missed!

    One of the most magnificent places I’ve ever been. I am so glad I get to explore the far side of big bend. Definitely going back here ASAP.
  • By Peter Watson
    When hiking take plenty of water and good hiking footwear that can get wet for water crossing and hiking on Rocky trail. Take 20 dollars or more in small bills for trinkets or custom painted walking staffs that can be found on trail.
