Lava Canyon — Saturday, Aug. 21, 2021

As most people mention the suspension bridge is out that prevents you from being able to hike a loop through Lava Canyon.  Based on some of the other trip reports on how sketchy the trail is, we went as far as the suspension bridge on both sides of the canyon and turned around.  On one side of the canyon just beyond the closed bridge is a trail sign warning you that the trail becomes extremely difficult (black diamond).  We took this as a sign to turn around.  According to our gps we hiked just over 2 miles by hiking both sides of the canyon.  This is a very pretty canyon with lots of use.  The trails in this section are very well maintained.
