Comments The roads are maintained dirt after you leave Arco and passable for all vehicles after the snow melt. Higher clearance is best for the last half mile as the road turns to a two track. There is room for a handful of vehicles to park at the trailhead. The trail itself is a steep hike that probably gains another 1000 feet or so rather quickly! Take water and a walking stick is recommended. The canyon is amazing so take a camera too. The steepest parts have been improved with steps made from old railroad ties. Take your time and you will enjoy the view!
