Of all the Inner Canyon Hikes Long Draw provides the littlest river access. There are 0.25 miles of river access and one camping site. The climb down and back up is incredibly strenuous but the solitude at the bottom is worth it. Rest up and enjoy the views from the canyon floor before the big climb back to the North Rim.
