Just seconding the Palmer Canyon notion. I hiked up it in 2017 and didn't run across any difficulties, despite my lack of youth and stature. The immense and colorful dry fall way up at the end is an amazing sight. Sometimes I worry about mountain lions (never have seen one), but I'm relying on my hiking poles to make me look really big. I did come across a big horn mamma and her baby who went racing up the canyon before me. I hope you have a marvelous time.
