Having never been here before, spending a night at Coal Mine Canyon was incredible. First I explored the various formations from the top before dropping down into the canyon on a very steep, sandy route where I had to dig my feet into the sand to control the descent. I was absolutely awestruck as I hiked the short distance through the hoodoos as the easily followed route dropped to the bottom of the canyon. With sunset coming soon I turned around and headed back up, but I would definitely like to come back and explore farther down canyon. It's a really special place!
