Cappie’s Scoop: Spring is a great time to visit this canyon! Lots of flowers to smell, sticks to crunch and of course green grass to eat. Yummm! We did a big loop around the canyon and even took a small side trail to see some rocks. Mom says the rock might have bedrock mortars in them but they just looked like rocks with holes to me! I found a cushy seat in the grass and didn’t want to leave. My face says it all in the picture! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
