I would recommend it if you are not travelling with children under 12. We saw only one other person during the three days we were in that area of the canyon (with the exception of river raft trips). If you have the stamina, avoid the main trail and take one the seldom used ones. This goes for all parks. In Yosemite, there is a seldom used trail up (literally) Indian Creek Canyon (I think that's what it was called) behind the hotel there. Half way up was a waterfall and natural pool that is the best this nation (outside of Hawaii) has to offer. Anyone interested in a net.rec.hiking? ...laidbak!trsvax!ljw (Larry West)
