Hiking
Pinyon Draw offers the most river access of all the inner canyon hikes. There are 2 miles of river access and six campsites. The hike to the bottom of the canyon (and the climb back up) might be very strenuous, but the reward at the bottom is totally worth it. The views are stunning and the solitude really disconnects you from the world around you.
