Great 6 mile hike that was mostly easy with a couple of moderate spots. Fantastic views, some good shady spots and the waterfall at the end was really worth the effort to make it to the end!

Try to do this in the daytime though! Lots of mountain roads that need light to navigate with confidence - amazing views. Loved the sites we stopped to see: Red Canyon, Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Staircase Escalante National Park Loved the towns along the way: Hyway 89, towns of Tropic, Cannonville, Henrieville, Escalante, Boulder.

The hoo-doos are fun to explore and play on. There is a small arch that kids/teens can walk over. A fun place to play and have a picnic!

Easy hike through a beautiful canyon rewarded with an incredible waterfall that dips into a pool where you can swim and cool off. Maybe it was late season, other have warned the water is too cold but I thought it was super refreshing and wasn’t too bad at all. I’ve done much colder.
