We took this photo one morning after walking up to the top of the canyon with friends. Our picnic backpacks were full of our breakfast and from memory we left at 7am. It took us about 45 minutes to walk up. If you are going to do the canyon walk you will need to be fit enough to walk up steep slopes that sometimes have loose stones. In summer you really need to start early morning, before the sun is overhead and it is too hot.
These are my notes from my journal, written some time ago. We found the walk by ourselves back in 2004, not knowing it was part of the Lycian walk. We understand the route was used by villages and traders. Today we do not see anyone else walking but we have had close run-ins with goats. The entrance to the canyon is down the road from Rosmarin.
