A guide all to myself

The grotto at the end of the canyon. Water here cascades over the rim, mostly to the right of the picture, behind the tree. Note the abundance of ferns along the grotto rim.

Comments: I arrived for the first tour of the day at 10:00 AM. No one else showed up so I had a personal tour. The changes in vegetation from the top of the ridge to the bottom is incredible. The hike is short with a few steep spots, but they've done a good job of adding steps and hand holds where necessary. A couple of bats were resting in the cave near the falls.
