Consider the hike at Keyhole Sink the next time you need to stretch your legs. It’s a 1.3 mile hike back to a box canyon with a seasonal waterfall and petroglyphs. Kathie and Walt recommend the Ranger led hike they took during Archeology month. Neil Weintraub was their guide to the beautiful waterfall
