1.5 Hour Tour that involves stair cases some of which are ladders. Per their web site:
The canyon is Narrow at some sections and uneven paths throughout the canyon. We have 3 different 25ft step ladders (with hand rails) in the canyon. The entrance is a 3-story stair-well that goes into the canyon. We do not recommend the hike if you are scared of heights or enclosed spaces.
We do not recommend the canyon if you have health problems. The canyon is pretty strenuous, so please be aware of the high activity that is involved with touring into the canyon.
