Comments: Lower Gold Star contains a nice series of downclimbs for beginners or older kids, but will be unchallenging for most experienced canyoneers on its own. However, Lower Gold Star can be a fun upclimb instead of using the trail to access Otto's Staircase. It is also a nice end to the rappels in Upper Gold Star.

When descending Upper Gold Star, it only took 40min to move through Lower Gold Star from the top trail intersection to the trailhead below. Based on this group's timing on part of the trail to approach Upper Gold Star, we'd estimate 40-45min to approach the top of Lower Gold Star via either trail.
