Our guide Aaron Yazzie was super knowledgeable and patient with us, even gave us a short science lesson on how the canyons were formed by demonstrating it real time with sand and water. Oh and not forgetting the flute playing in the canyon, such beautiful music only enhanced by the caverns in the canyon. A+++++”
