THERE WILL BE TWO HIKES TODAY-, DO EITHER ONE OR BOTH-all hikes start at the visitor center remains...
11:00am: to the slot canyons and waterfalls south of the visitor center
2:15 PM: to the arches and caves north of the visitor center
THE PLAN: NOT THE USUAL DEVIL'S PUNCHBOWL HIKE (the 1-mile loop everyone else does....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz or the Devil's Chair)
instead: WE'RE DOING 5 HOURS OF ROCKS, CAVES, ARCHES AND WATERFALL EXPLORATION. The hike route itself is not off-trail or exploratory. It's just not an any official maps.
Difficulty: MODERATE, but nothing too crazy. BRING HIKING SHOES THAT YOU CAN GET WET!!!! (although when I do the falls I don't get wet.)
DISTANCE: only 5 miles or so, because climbing up and around rocks and waterfalls is slooowww
