Too bad we did not come here in the Spring when all the falls here would have been roaring & fuller. Still, what we experienced was more than good enough. We took both the North & South Rim Trails, all of which are well-marked & manageable. There are places to rest, if need be, signs relating to history & geography, ample parking ($10/car), an interesting water fountain at the bottom, No Swimming signs along the way & the only suggestion we would offer are: do not arrive too late to walk the trails since half of them are in the shadow of the cliffs & so they get dark, and, if you have difficulty walking downhill, bring walking sticks.

Wow! The spot was unbelivable! The falls and the gorge were both so gorgeous! The hike was short but so grateful! We loved it so much!
