A gorgeous trail to the confluence of the Deschutes & Whychus Creek. The hike takes you from the rim to the creek, passing many interesting rock formations, crossing through (bring sandals/water shoes) Whychus creek with great views of the canyon. A few overgrown spots closer to the confluence but nothing crazy. Loved it, was in awe of the geology all afternoon!
