Fooling around is a great, and varied canyon. It has many potential exits, making it a good choice for beginners. The short route is recommended, as it sees the best parts of the canyon, yet provides a much shorter exit.

The longer route is worthwhile, but adds more much more exit hiking than good stuff.
