Introduction[edit]
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[edit]
Park along Skull Creek Road at (40.31265, -108.68208).
Hike west overland to the start of the descent at (40.31037, -108.68854).
