A pleasant circular walk of 2.5 hours. There is one simple climb on a rock, 2 meters high. I recommend wearing trekking shoes and stocking up on drinking water. In autumn everything is somewhat monotonous and it is better to go in spring, when everything around is in bloom. From the far part of the canyon you can see the top of Mount Ararat.

Nice little canyon with a mini swimming opportunity at the beginning. We enjoyed our day here with some nice locals.
