Introduction[edit]
Beggar's Canyon is a very short and fun canyon right next to the West Fork parking lot. An easy .6 mile hike up a ridge leads to an easy drop-in with minimal bushwhacking.
Approach[edit]
Hike up the obvious ridge going NW from the parking lot north of the West Fork bridge. Take this up for about 1,000ft until you find a suitable place to drop into the canyon.
Descent[edit]
There are several short rappels leading to a longer rappel with a possible anchor challenge. We placed webbing around a handful of thin branches coming out of the ground and backed it up with a meat anchor.
The last rappel is about 150ft, and brings you down from the rim into West Fork. A 200ft rope and 200ft pullcord are suggested for this, though there are trees partway down one could rapp off if one lacks such equipment.
Exit[edit]
Hike east along West Fork Road to your car.
