• Pace: ~1 hr 22 min total moving time, plus a 30-minute mastermind break at the falls
• Trail notes: Sections can be hard to follow—download or bring a GPS map so the group sticks together.

#### What to bring

• Sturdy shoes or trail runners with good grip
• 1–2 L water + light snack
• Layers—canyon mornings can be cool even in summer
