Getting There

Route

From the airstrip trailhead, head southwest for 0.1 miles to the edge of the cliff. Enjoy the amazing view! There is no official trail, but there are a number of social trails. The next 0.2 miles loses about 550 feet of elevation as you work your way down the cliff bands, switchbacking as necessary. If you pick your route well, you can hike down the entire cliff face without needing to downclimb anything. Once at the bottom of the cliffs, continue southwest for about 0.1 miles until you join the Grand Gulch Trail that runs down the bottom of the swell. Follow the Grand Gulch Trail south for about 3 miles to the Halls Creek Alcove primitive camping site.
