More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from the air-conditioned shuttle into a gorge where sunlight slices between steep sandstone walls and a cool stream dares you forward. Water threads the floor of the Siq, carrying you through a narrow canyon whose cliffs push the sky into a thin ribbon overhead. The Siq Trail is intimate and physical — a mixture of wading, scrambling, and steady walking where every bend reveals another cascade or pool.
