Firstly,
I
should
note
that
in
order
to
hike
this
trail,
you're
supposed
to
get
permission
(either
by
going
to
the
visitor
center
in
El
Bosque
or
calling;
if
you
don't
speak
Spanish,
it
might
just
be
easier
to
do
it
in
person).
All
they
need
is
passport
information
for
some
reason,
but
you
don't
need
to
pay.
Driving
to
the
trail
is
a
great
trip
in
and
of
itself.
The
parking
lot
is
well-marked
and
there
are
spots
for
probably
thirty
cars.
We
hiked
at
the
end
of
December,
later
in
the
afternoon
and
there
were
maybe
five
cars
there,
including
ours.
The
temperature
was
perfect
with
the
sun
on
us,
but
it
would
be
killer
in
the
middle
of
summer.
Before
I
go
any
further,
I'll
confess
that
we
didn't
make
it
to
the
end
of
the
trail.
We
got
there
later
than
expected
and
after
descended
part
of
the
way
down
to
the
canyon
floor,
we
understood
that
if
we
were
to
reach
the
bottom,
we'd
be
coming
back
up
in
the
twilight.
The
descent
was
quite
steep
and
the
trail
narrow
and
rocky
in
parts;
it's
not
dangerous,
nor
does
it
require
special
skill,
as
we
saw
a
few
children
accompanying
their
parents
on
the
arduous
return
trip.
The
first
half
of
the
trail,
if
it's
all
you
do,
is
still
enjoyable.
Not
too
much
up
and
down,
though
the
scenery
is
nice,
the
air
fresh.
We
stopped
for
some
time
under
a
cliff
overhang
at
the
beginning
of
the
descent.
A
large
number
of
griffons
live
there
and
they
soar
about
the
canyon.
At
that
point,
they'll
fly
above
you
no
more
than
a
few
meters
from
time
to
time.
I
was
saddened
we
weren't
able
to
finish
the
trail
and
even
if
you
find
yourself
short
on
time
(and
with
permission),
I
suggest
you
check
out
this
trail.
