Long day hike, with the main goal to explore more of the MC area. Dropping down through the short section of smooth, polished narrows is very fun, Granite rapids is a monster, and the monument itself is very impressive seen up close from the trail passing near its base. But I especially enjoyed hiking up-creek to the base of The Abyss, where there is a small green oasis with water cascading down a mossy cliff face from a spring somewhere above. Kind of like a small version of Vasey's Paradise. Even found a golf ball there, probably launched from the rim (nice distance, but definitely OB).
