An idyllic oasis and waterfalls in the Grand Canyon on the Thunder River and Deer Creek Loop
In the middle of the Grand Canyon lies an unlikely oasis on the Thunder River and Deer Creek Loop. See Thunder Spring gush out of the canyon wall, camp along the banks of a rushing creek, follow narrow ledges along the canyon walls, watch waterfalls plunge down toward the Colorado River, and gaze into the sky as the sun rises and sets over the grandest canyon of them all. This trail is very difficult and not for people with fear of heights. Visit https://wildpathsaz.com/thunder-river... for more details and a map.
