Introduction
This would be an uneventful, non-technical drainage without the first rappel, which may be able to be bypassed. The drainage is easy to walk down without too much vegetation, a couple of downclimbs and potholes to avoid.
Most canyoneers will skip this, but the beta is added here to capture what is in the drainage.
Approach
Park along Skull Creek Road at (40.31265, -108.68208).
Hike west overland to the start of the descent at (40.31037, -108.68854).
