Since we were tenting we got up super early and wanted to hike down into the canyon towards Roaring Springs. It was a 16 km hike (9.4 miles) which should take about 8 hours to complete with a descent into the canyon of about 930 meters (3041 feet) below the rim. It was a beautiful trail but since we didn’t start hiking until 11 in the morning and halfway down there we met a ranger that recommended us to turn around since it was a scolding 48 degrees (120 Fahrenheit). We took his advice and hiked back up which was a lot longer than we had expected. Even though we didn’t reach our final destination we still had a blast and got to see a lot of the canyon. We went back to the camp cooked dinner and was all so tired that we went straight to bed.
