We will only be in the area for one day - so if you had to choose between Clifton Gorge and Glen Helen which would you recommend? We will have 2 children with us as well, 8 & 4 so wondering if either place has locations to play in the waters/streams? Thanks so much for any advice!

Hi! I answered your private message on this question. I would agree with others comments above. Glen Helen gives you flexibility with the kids. We weren't at John Bryan so no experience with it. If you had a full day to enjoy I would still be inclined to recommend you do the loop trail at Glen Helen and then drive over to the Clifton Gorge and hike part of it, but keep a close eye on your kids to be safer. We had lunch at Clifton Mills and really enjoyed all three sites. (Don't take the $3 Mill tour... is a waste of money, just each the food, enjoy the ambiance, buy the kids some cool candy they sell there!)
