Strenuous secluded beautiful hike

This hike is very secluded, with an 1.5 hour drive to the trailhead and a strenuous uphill climb to the rim. The views of the Rio Grande are spacious and truly amazing. Worth the effort, however the summer heat would make any expert hiker rethink this trail. Much more pleasant in the winter and spring. Bring lots of water.
