The sandstone layers made for some beautiful scenery and the river flowing
the snow melt out of the canyon was impressive.

There were some narrow sections in the canyon the provided some cavernous like scenery that added to the character of the canyon.

A day hike through the canyon happened with some good effort and cool temperatures.
I recommend wearing study boots and trekking poles to work your way through the canyon as it can get quite slippery.
