The upper section of Palisade Canyon – well above its junction with Spencer Canyon and the technical section of the canyon – is a beautiful place to visit. There is an easy trail down to the canyon off the Palisade Trail – but the trail quickly disappears and sections of (potentially challenging) off-trail rock scrambling flow together with puzzles of over-grown brush and fallen trees, be careful and know your limits if you try to travel the bottom of the canyon!
