Know Before You Go:

Bring twice as much water as you think you need.
Start early to avoid hiking midday.
The Gower Gulch portion of the loop is significantly less scenic (we recommend an out + back on the Golden Canyon portion).
You’ll have the chance to see amazing colors on Zabriskie Point if you come at sunrise.
