Introduction[edit]
A quick canyon with 2 rappels, longest of 200'
Approach[edit]
Park at the end of Foothill Road and proceed on the dirt that heads south. Past the water tanks there will be a series of trails all leading to the wash below. Either take the shortcut trail up the east side of Cathedral Canyon or hike downstream a bit to where the trail leads up. You may encounter Big Horn Sheep as they frequent the area. Follow the trail south along the ridge just east of Cathedral Canyon until it drops you at the top of the dry falls.

- R1: 20'
- R2: 200'
Exit[edit]
Follow the canyon until you come to where you crossed on the approach. Take same trail back to vehicle.
