    Hiking

    If you hike the Deer Creek/Thunder River Loop, this is a really nice spot the spend the night. The Esplanade is a large rocky plateau with stunning views into the canyon and bizarre mushroom-like rock formations. You could easily spend a day exploring the area. This is also a good spot to cache some water for your hike out of the canyon.

    To camp here, you need a backcountry permit for at-large camping in the Esplanade (AY9).
