Itinerary description

Show original

Hike to King Canyon. This trail is called the 'Rim Walk. It passes at the top of the cliffs, makes a loop of 6 km and requires 3 to 4 hours of walk. Because of the very high temperatures, the access conditions are severe. Each person must carry 3 liters of water and no departure is allowed after 9:00. At the beginning of the walk, a path called the Infarct Climb, because of the difficulty to climb, leads to the top of the canyon. We have a beautiful view of the canyon and the surrounding desert. In the middle of the visit, a detour leads down to the Garden of Eden, a permanent water hole surrounded by lush vegetation. The last half of the circuit is in the middle of sandstone domes.
