So I know this is a very significant site for Iceland historically as well as an extremely unique geological site, all of which is very cool. However, having experienced the Eastfjords and a lot of the south coast, there are many more scenic and more interesting places to see in Iceland

Agree with pretty much everything said above. You need a 4x4 vehicle and good conditions to get here, or go on a superjeep tour. Definitely saw people in rental cars not fit for the trip. Very picturesque canyon with moss everywhere. Definitely find the small slot canyon, that’s the highlight! Like the description says you get to what looks like the end of the main canyon, where there’s a smaller canyon going off to the right, but you can cross the stream and essentially go straight ahead/a little left through a narrow opening

Unreal views. Also so interesting to see big cacti and Torrey pines growing in the same spot. My favorite trail at Torrey pines

The trail has been changed recently. The very steep scrambling section is no more. It is now a fairly easy walk all the way down to the falls. Went on a weekday afternoon in the winter and had it all to myself!

Torrey pines is a very unique place! Personally my favorite trails were the guy Fleming loop and the broken hills section. The overlook is very cool and there’s waaaaay less people on those trails. It also goes right next to the golf course. Walking on the beach itself is also spectacular

Very difficult section over steep shale. Even more difficult before the snow melts (really should have snow gear, but doable without depending on depth and location of snow). Trailhead is best reached from the EAST side of road 073, as the west route is pretty much impassable without a heavy duty 4WD, even though it’s much closer to Moab. Take lots of pictures!

Had a blast here for my first time mountain biking. We did not bring a car capable of carrying bikes to Moab, and most shuttles are closed due to covid-19 so it was very convenient to rent bikes from Ken at Bighorn right across the highway from the trails! We rode the lazy EZ loop which was a blast, the rusty spur and small sections of bar M, before stopping for lunch on the slick rock of Circle O. Great view of arches and the la sals. We then stepped up our game by completing the north 40 loop, an intermediate/advanced trail. It was a blast but exhausting!

Great intro hike to the Moab area. Fairly easy and short with a great payoff. Also great swimming in the Colorado River across from the trailhead! There is not much shade on the entire trail besides from the shade from the arch itself, so take water/maybe don’t go during the absolute hottest part of the day

Even if you aren't an experienced kayaker, do this! Get a guide from one of the companies in Munising - they provide sea kayaks, including double kayaks. You will not regret it.
