Grandstaff Canyon

Grandstaff Canyon is a scenic canyon with a perennial stream and sheer walls of Navajo sandstone. The canyon is home to the famous Morning Glory Natural Bridge, which has a span of 243 feet and is the sixth longest natural rock span in the United States. The canyon offers a hiking trail that follows the stream and leads to the bridge, with several stream crossings and a steep slope to ascend. The trail is 2 miles long and takes about 4 hours to complete round trip. The canyon also features a ribbon of riparian vegetation and large expanses of barren Navajo sandstone domes and fins. Visitors should be aware of poison ivy that grows in the area and take necessary precautions
