WaterflowIntroduction[edit]
This group is best suited for groups with advanced anchoring skills. Please do not drape ropes, slings, fiddlesticks, or anything else around the numerous natural bridges that exist in this beautiful canyon.
Getting There[edit]
Access to the Parking area is via a dirt road off of I-70, but there isn't an actual freeway exit. Instead there is, what I'm calling, a shoulder exit/entrance immediately off of I-70 (one on Westbound I-70 and another on Eastbound I-70). You just pull off to the shoulder and exit the freeway onto a dirt road and proceed through a gate in the fence. There is a culvert running under the freeway that enables access to either the westbound or eastbound lanes of I-70, as well as the dirt roads running north or south of the freeway. Not all vehicles will fit in this culvert so there is a dirt strip in the median that allows you to drive across I-70. For safety reasons, it is advised to use the culvert if possible. If not possible use great caution when driving across the freeway. Note that U-turns are prohibited.
