Description

Very cool little mellow area toward the back of the canyon, there is a cliff wall with boulders on all sides making this spot feel like it's own little enclosed area.

Getting There

This is just beyond hairpin rock (the large formation with the chimney on the right hand side) on the left hand side. It takes about 10 minutes from the road.

[Hide Comment] Be wary of bees in this area. They've establish a nest in the damp area under the boulder to the right of the main alcove wall. Jan 11, 2014
