This dungeon is visited automatically two days after Great Canyon is cleared for the first time. Mt. Blaze will be visited immediately afterwards. Alternatively, if the player is defeated in this dungeon on their first visit, they will have the option to go to Rock Path before attempting this dungeon again.
