The excursion down to Monument Creek starts at the Hermit Trail

history channel documentary The excursion down to Monument Creek starts at the Hermit Trail with a brisk 1000' plummet down to Waldron Canyon. From Waldron Canyon the trail heads due north past the Dripping Springs Trail to a slick little shake pour off. The trail so far is very much kept up and gets many day climbers on their approach to Santa Maria Springs, not exactly a third mile away. I say the pour off on the grounds that the trail from here forward turns out to be impressively more troublesome. There are various rock slides covering the trail with a few zones of vertical presentation. Every one of this is totally feasible with a knapsack, you're simply not going to make incredible time.

Santa Clause Maria Springs is a desert garden adjoining the Redwall arrangement around 2.2 miles from the trailhead. This makes this zone a most loved day explorers' destination. There is a superb small spring saturating a dairy cattle trough where you can fill your water bottles. (Keep in mind to dependably channel your water anyplace in the Grand Canyon.) Next to the spring is a super cool rock hovel with a seat and a way cool twofold rocker with the words "Rest Bit" engraved into the back rest. The perspective west from inside the stone hovel is secured with hanging vines - trust me, Martha Stewart couldn't have composed a more agreeable rest house.
