    Comment: Light flow, mostly trickle. Dry at all anchors. Water cold but felt comfy in a wetsuit. All webbing in good shape. Be careful on the last rope pull.

    Comment: Trickle had the first two pools clean, the third (second swimmer) was algae filled and will probably stay that way between rainstorms. Swimming LDC will land you on rocks pretty quickly, cuts the swim in half.

    Time reflects a ropestick on R3, silly of me but so it goes, watch the rock pinch and easier LDC, had to rush home for a lunch, otherwise would be a great combo for La Milagrosa.

    Comment: Combined with La Milagrosa and never got wet in this one. Schwacked up the hill on canyoneers left exiting LM to combine and hated every second of it. Unsure if there is a better way. Did last rappel of canyon on canyoneer's left from a tree to stay dry.

    Comment: The approach is very hot this time of year, but it's doable. A nice and quick little canyon near Tucson.

    Comment: Time reflects Agua Caliente and La Milagrosa combo - car to car. Jumped into the first pool. Did two rappels of about 20 and 30 feet. Pools were full with a light trickle. Multiple swimmers. High winds today made for some cold swims. Rock was very slick. Mostly nontechnical canyon, but scenic.

    Comment: Easy approach. Even easier exit. Two fun raps with flow into a pool, one could be done as a slide or jump. Many opportunities for more slides and water fun. Beautiful scenery.
