Comments: Ended up leapfrogging another group on the entrance and took the more well-worn but steep path that goes very far right, probably added about ~1 hour total to the RoadTripRyan beta. Water was pleasantly cool and kind of chilly near the end. 60m CanyonFire enough for the first rappel single-stranded if adjusted before LAMAR (whoops).

Comment: All anchors in good shape. Initial anchor is a tree with a sling. Other anchors are glue-in bolts with chains. Low flow. No wetsuit needed. A rain jacket or splash top might be helpful for some. You will get wet to some degree.

Comment: Very nice little canyon with easy trail approach and exit. Flowing water definitely get you wet especially if you slide down with the water. Rain jacket would be nice for people more susceptible to cold. The canyon has a nice flow and cooling effect even in mid summer.

Comment: Flow was pretty good. First rappel gets you pretty soaked so be ready to be a bit cold. Last rappel is a full shower if you take the water side of the cliff.

Comment: Took the well-worn hikers trail which took just over an hour to the first rappel. Light flow. Some debris in canyon and lots of carnage along the exit from recent floods.

Comment: A great hot-day canyon! The hike up is quite eroded with various social trails branching off. There was enough flow to be "splashy" and fun, but no pools or force. There was a bit of in-canyon traffic, but we were in no hurry to leave.

Comment: fun conditions with good flow. it was a bit cold but felt good with the heat. easy pulls. added a map, which shows a short approach that involves some moderate scrambling and easy climbing. it seems there is a better-traveled trail that comes in from the southwest to drop you at the first rap (we picked it up for the last couple hundred meters) but someone else will have to map that. first rap is very satisfying. enjoy your moment in the spotlight on the last rap.
