I honestly am still in a euphoria. Its absolutely breathtaking! We've been lucky enough to see some spectacular sites, but this place is probably at the top of those places. Its one of those places I would suggest you experience in person. The pics do not do it justice.

Very beautiful place! Amazing to see. I take my family every year. Plus it's free! Great little family vacation. Plus there is an I e cream shop just down the road that is amazing as well!

I came on a cold January day at sunrise so I only saw 2 other people. Given the awesomeness of this place though, I bet it gets pretty busy when the weather is warmer. Such a great escape into nature! I can't wait to come back and explore more terrain.

I absolutely love this place. Had a great time. Easy hike with amazing views. Many places close by to stay and eat. Loved the drive there also. A truly amazing place to see a glimpse of what millions of years of erosion and a changing world can do to a landscape. 😍

One of the most beautiful breath-taking places in the world. Grateful that my husband and I got married here by his dad.(Papa) One of our favorite camping spots to go with the whole family. If you look up at night you can see so many stars its other wordly. Thankful for all the memories here and memories to come πŸŒ πŸŒŸπŸŒŒπŸŒ βœ¨οΈπŸ• β€οΈπŸ©·πŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ©΅πŸ’œπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆπŸŒˆ
