Sorry people, it wasn't my intent to upset anybody. The video is annoying, but I was in a hurry and had my common sense filter off. The video does show that snake gaiters can work and a bit about how the snakes strike. I usually go my way and the snake the other like most of you.

Oldranger, I've been up the canyon as well as on top and they are totally different experiences. Most of the park is a series of broad plateaus separated by relatively low ridges, like steps, as you go south and west. And yes, there are trails, but these were unmarked.
