Starting at a designated trailhead, this trip begins with a 2,000 feet descent over a distance of about 6 miles.

The trail is known for its steep and rocky terrain, so be prepared for a demanding hike that requires good physical fitness, not to mention sturdy footwear. As you make your way down, you'll be surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs and colourful rock formations.
