We spend 4-5 hours exploring the rim, discussing the geology, and interpreting the ancient past of Öngtupqa, the great Salt Canyon that holds 13,000 years of mystery. The course of the day consists of 4 stops along the rim, with lunch in between. A short walk along a paved path, and then we make our way back to Sedona after 4 hours of sight seeing.
