We wanted an easy backpacking trip for the younger kids. Starting at the Rock Canyon campground, the trail was a constant descent. There are two drinking fountains along the path, one near the top and one near the bottom. There is plenty of shaded areas and a small river at times as well.
This is a popular trail, especially for rock climbers. Rock Canyon is an amazing area if you are into geography.
