Greenwater Canyon is a unique and special place that I will always appreciate. It's an enjoyable hike whether you are hiking in from the western side or the eastern side.

My friends and I have hiked in from both sides at different times, and we have hiked the entire canyon.

Since this picture was taken (in 2006), the current road closure has been moved closer to the real park boundary and has two large wilderness restoration signs and two posts marking the closure:
