Nice canyon but doesn't compare to the original in Yellowstone National Park. My app gave me ~9,700 feet elevation at the rim. I didn´t found a way to reach the bottom from the Colorado River Trail. Volcanic landscape with rugged rock spires and panoramic views of the Never Summer Mountains. Rarely could see the river because of the dense forest. Nobody else around there. Wild solitude.
