Introduction[edit]

One mandatory rappel has a 40’ drop but 30’ of webbing. Three notable downclimbs of 15 to 25’. A few narrows for stemming. A couple pools easy to avoid. Very scenic straightforward canyon. Without a shuttle adds 1 hour of hiking time. Stunning area overlooks Dirty Devil to the east, Northwash to the south, Henry Mountains to the south and west.
