A very, very short section above the "falls" on the Bear Canyon Trail is quite steep, no exposure (30% grade) - this is why we'll be hiking up it!!!
Below is our route ... note the directions of the arrows & elevation profile and that the South Rim Trail will be an out-and-back to add mileage and I just like the views coming and going better than making a loop like normal people do!!!
