Follow the trail down into the narrows. The canyon has crystal clear water at the bottom. Be cautious near the water, do not cross if it is high and moving swiftly.

Every so often the trail disappears into the rocks. However, it’s easy to get back on track. From here the hike can be harder, but only if you choose to climb rocks and scramble up the mountain.
