"Gorgeous views in an accessible location. Have been twice since moving to the area, and once it was so foggy that you couldn't see much but the walk to the outlook was still beautiful. I love the fact that there was effort to make sure there are accessible trails to reach the outlook, though I have not taken the accessible route myself. The wooden boardwalks are a touch slippery in wetter weather, but aside from the the non-accessible trail is beautiful and a fun small hike."
"Nice 1.1 km loop with some great views! Easy to walk. Lots of people talking loudly on the platforms, but it was super nice when we had the platform to ourselves. Lots of parking. The park asks for 5 dollars for parking. There was nowhere to show the discovery pass, so it is free to visit."
"An absolutely stunning sight, this canyon runs like an ancient scar across the rocky landscape. Beautiful views can be found at the look out point. Not terribly far from the highway with ample parking and visitor amenities. Beyond the view and the chance to witness such an awesome geological feature there is little else to draw visitors. Clean and well marked trails are otherwise short and not challenging."
