Comments: 30 min approach. 1.5 hr canyon. 4.5 hour exit (at a casual pace). All anchors in new condition. A really fun way to explore the upper reaches of West Fork. The exit was fairly dry with one waist deep wade, and a few shallow walk throughs. A stuck fiddle stick was retrieved from R4. A short but fun canyon, with a long but beautiful exit. The rappels were worth the effort. Perfect canyon for fall colors!

Comment: The route itself was better than expected. Anchors are in place for all drops. No noteworthy challenges. The exit is a bit of a slog.

Comment: Great Rappels and beautiful key hole pour offs. Long exit but also buys you some of the more beautiful sections of narrows in the upper reaches of west fork. Two other potential exits look promising too. Some wading to get through west fork and depending on recent rain and water levels there could be some swims.
