The ultimate adventure guide
The Cliff Springs Trail is a very scenic and pleasant hike.
The trail heads down into a small valley that leads to the canyon.
Look for this Anasazi granary shortly after the trailhead.
The first part of the trail is ponderosa pine forest
Distant views of the Grand Canyon soon come into view.
The spring alcove has a large number of handprint pictographs.
The wet seeps create an environment for maidenhair ferns.
Cliff Spring itself is currently just a trickle.
The trail returns up the canyon.
