Arriving at the trailhead, we timed it right as the parking lot had several spots open to park.  On this trip were me, Heather, Taylor, and Isiah (Taylor’s boyfriend).  Tessa had planned to join us, but started feeling ill last night so she stayed home.

The Endless Wall trail is about 3.5 miles long.  On the trail there is a cool bridge, but the highlight is the overlook at  Diamond Point (video).   You can see the bridge, the river below, and the many viewpoints from the “endless wall”. After taking several photos during our hike, we headed back to the SUV.

The hike was an up and back, as the the loop required you to walk about 1/2 mile on the narrow road to get back to your car, and the cars were going too fast for it to be safe.  It pays to read and do some education before you visit.

We then went to the Canyon Rim Visitor Center and had some lunch.  Afterwards it started to sprinkle some rain, so we walked over to the bridge overlook near the visitor center.  You can also get a lower view by going down 178 steps.  The steps and boardwalk are in great shape and plenty of places to stop for a rest along the way.  After a few photos at the bottom lookout, we got back in the SUV to tour the historic Fayette Station Road.

The road is mostly 1-way, but will still take about 45 minutes to an hour without the numerous stops.  We stopped several times on the route, but the highlights were under the bridge, at the water rapid in Fayette Station, and the Kaymoor Trail at the end of the road.

Kaymoor trail had the cool  Wolf Creek Falls (video).   You could literally stand underneath it and feel the moss.

On the road leaving the park, out we saw a waterfall, so we decided to stop.  This is where I almost ran off the road into a ditch, but we won’t talk about that.  The stop was at Chandelier Falls (video).   This waterfall reminded us of a waterfall in El Junque National Forest in Puerto Rico.  It had a little pool you could swim below the falls.

All in all, a great day of hiking at our the 68th National Park/Site we have visited.
