It is just nature magic. No photo or video truly captures its beauty. There were dogs with their humans. A couple were not friendly and then there were some like mine that were just chill and didn't pay anyone or anything any attention. They were happy just smelling around. The first day I went the restrooms were clean and well stocked. The next day was the first day of the government shutdown and nothing was kept up. Restrooms were bare of soap and toilet paper. People were rude and had paper and stuff all over the floor. The gift shop was closed. So that was unfortunate that happened.

Breathtaking views, the blue route driver Tim made our day, such an awesome friendly guide and very attentive to all people- opposite to the very rude lady driver who work red line at the sunset time in September 30- she was so laud and rude to the elderly asking her question about next stop. She needs to ride Tim s bus and learn some patience.

Breathtaking Landscapes are so beautiful and unique!!!!! Every stop in the park has a special treat for your eyes with mesmerizing views. We were lucky to visit a week ahead of the wild fire which happened in the month of July. We witnessed the smoke from far and fire ball while traveling in the night. The shuttle is so frequent and convenient every ten minutes. Not all places have restrooms.

God majesty is awe inspiring! The most powerful and beautiful hole in the ground. Absolutely the best place to witness the power and grace of Gods presence. Highly recommended at least one in your lifetime and definitely worth staying until sunset where the colors change and the sun sets over the rim. Definitely worth the time and effort to visit !
