Sand Canyon from the Top Down

Today I hiked Sand Canyon down from the top (starts by Sand Canyon Pueblo) with Amala. Jeff, another ranger, dropped us off. There is a very steep section, and they advised going down instead of up. It was a beautiful hike and we saw many cultural sites I had not been to yet.

View of the canyon from the top.

The hike skirts the sandstone you see on the cliff to the right and after a couple of miles drops into the canyon via a set of steep switchbacks.

The cliffs protect so many beautiful structures.

It was a glorious day, and it was so nice to have company on this hike.
