The rangers down there usually have a black light to go hunting with campers. You will like Ribbon Falls. It is really nice. Look for monkey flowers.

The new crop of graduate students will be here in mid-August and we'll be taking them up to Flagstaff for volcano stuff and the Grand Canyon for tectonic history stuff. I'll be taking them down to a little bit below Indian Gardens to show them the "Great Unconformity". A place where you can with the span of your hand cover almost 2 billion years of time between the dark schist of the inner canyon and the Tapeats Sandstone.
