When hiking the Rocky Canyon trail, you have the option to branch off from the main trail and travel up/down the actual canyon bed. Route finding is easy as you just stick to the canyon way; the canyon is filled with more wildlife and greenery that you would expect. Check the weather before taking on this route as a period of heavy rain immediately following dry conditions could lead to flooding in the canyon.
