Your guide will show you unique and hidden places such as Gold Strike Canyon, Lone Palm Canyon, Arizona Hot Springs, Emerald Cave and many other treats. You may also see the flora, fauna, and the wildlife Black Canyon has to offer. Wear a bathing suit for soaking in the natural hot springs. Your day will also include a picnic lunch.
