Comments: An okay little side quest to hit if passing through! Semi interesting rock features. The rappel pictured on the beta page shows 2 sand filled potholes. These were scoured out and full of water. Unsure of depth and not wanting to get wet, we climbed over to the right found a rock to fix a rope for our party to rap down and I down climbed. Pictographs are at the end on right before wash opens. They are faded and not too exciting. We left a vehicle at East trailhead and shuttled up to West.

Comment: Afternoon canyon. Team of 6; started at original parking lot and circled back on the highway. R1 webbing dcl was decent and didn’t have any concerns; downclimb/R2 via meat anchor dcr using the lip for favorable geometry. Petroglyphs at end made for a unique experience.

Comment: A lot of bang for your buck in an hour - the stacked cars were neat, the sculpted rock and narrows were quite pretty, and the petroglyphs were fun to see. Anchors were present and in good condition.

Comment: Nice and short - a few fun downclimbs, the stacked cars are interesting, as are the pictographs. Replaced the anchor for the one mandatory rappel.
