On our way back from an MLK weekend in Page, we decided to visit this gem again. It's been a few years. As @chumley noted, there is an established trail now heading into the canyon, that offers views from below the rim. Truly an amazing area. The "rock" is more like clay and its sculpting is both elaborate and elegant.

I need to come here at the edge of the day sometime to catch best lighting.

Saw no one else there.

Near the "trailhead"/picnic area there are several small fenced-in areas. Upon inspection, we realized they were surrounding small sink holes, so take care when driving out there.

On our way back to 89, we decided to stop at the "Dinosaur Tracks" location just off the road. Friendly folks there offering typical jewelry for sale were more than happy to offer a little tour. The tracks were plentiful and the best specimens I've seen. Definitely worth a stop.
