Great overall 6 mile trail with fun cut in steps, caves, and sweeping views. 2-3 hours total for those in average shape. Spring and fall are great times to hike. Summer start early as parking can be limited. Shuttle takes you from visitor center to trail head when park is busy. Oh bonus this is a nesting area for the California condor. So you might get a chance at seeing these cool birds.
