I am sure it’s beautiful, but I have not visited. I don’t know why this keeps coming up on Google. Go and enjoy.

Visited the Grand Canyon trail to Beauchamp Falls after reading the previous reviews. The path was pretty accessible with some sections of steep steps but as we approached the last 200 feet or so of descent the path narrowed to less than a foot wide with a vertical drop of 10 feet to the right side. It had also become quite damp and covered with moss. As we didn't have climbing gear we decided it was not safe to descend any further. We could see the river below and hear the waterfall but didn't make it all the way. I would not recommend doing this climb without safety equipment.
