About
- Trip Meeting Time: 8:00 am
Our Canyon Hike starts with viewing the Upper Falls then we hike along the south rim of the canyon and then head inland where we will pass sulfur lakes, fresh water lakes, lodgepole pine forest, mud pots (without boardwalks), and beautiful classic open meadows with views of Hayden Valley in the distance. On this Hike, we will pass through more ecosystems then on any other trip we offer and it is a truly special way to see the Canyon area of the park!
