Comments: This is a really neat remote route worth a visit. The canyon starts with a flowing spring and a big multistage drop into a beautiful slotted room. Some shallow pools and ankle deep water in the first narrows. Neo booties would be nice as well as a rain jacket here, no need for wetsuit as this is the only real water in the canyon. Much of the walls are smooth and slick with some sort of glazing making downclimbing challenging. This slot is short but really pretty. After hiking and downclimbing an open drainage for a while the slot starts to show up again mildly but eventually drops into a dramatic deep room nearing the end. This room is full of some incredible dissolution pockets adorning the walls. There are lots of dowclimbs throughout, elbow and knee pads were nice to have. The canyon drops into some of the best parts of Orderville before the Narrows. Water in Orderville was warmer than that of the spring earlier on, neo booties were nice to have however. Water no more than waist deep in Orderville, no swims. Over all this is a long day with quite a few features throughout that make it worth while. The trees in this drainage would make for a lovely Fall color experience!
