Love it, beautiful place, but an 8-mile drive on winding dirt roads and $8 fee to get there. Still, it's worth it!!

This place is incredible. Knowing that parts of The Lost World (Jurassic Park II) were filmed here makes it even more awesome. Be prepared to climb over trees and walk through lots of water!

Not your average hike! The canyon walls are pretty magical, like a hanging garden. Challenging hike up & over fallen trees, prepare for wet shoes!

Great place for kids to run and explore. Make sure you bring water shoes. It’s way out of the way but fun.

Glorious! It’s worth the effort to get here, and worth getting your feet wet.

Looks like a scene from Jurassic park. Beautiful. Wear shoes that can handle the water
