NPS - Dan Kish Route DescriptionFrom the parking area, proceed up the rocky wash and into the canyon. Within the first 0.25mi (0.4km), the canyon abruptly narrows as the smooth marble walls of Noonday Dolomite take shape around you. The passing of grit-laden flash floods have scoured the narrow canyon and polished the smooth marble walls to a beautiful finish. Use caution hiking on the smooth slippery surfaces. You are entering designated wilderness.NPS - Dan Kish NPS - Dan kish NPS - Dan Kish NPS - Dan Kish |
