Comments:

Santa Elena Canyon is one of my favorite places to visit. The trail is extemely easy to navigate and the rock walls are beautiful, raising as high as 1500 feet on each side. It has changed a bit since the flood and you can't go as far in the canyon on foot because huge boulders block the path now.
