WaterflowIntroduction[edit]
Located Off West Buzzard Ridge is a short, but sweet "gully-style" canyon with a handful of rappels. The price for admission is a long and engaging exit through the upper reaches of West Fork. Although we pioneered a new exit that does not require a shuttle, a shorter exit would provide a better pay to play ratio. Ideal for rugged adventurers craving a full day wilderness experience.
Approach[edit]
Start at Buzzard Tank and work your way down into the main drainage.
Descent[edit]
5 Rappels up to 175'. No wetsuit required.
Exit[edit]
Follow Westfork to the shuttle parking... or take Buzzard Spring Canyon back up to Buzzard Ridge.
