Comments: Stop and check it out if you are driving through. There was one rappel with a pothole midway through that was about thigh deep and full of clay that stuck to everything. That was the deepest pool. Everything else was pretty shallow. That rappel also had webbing waaaay back. Recommend a toggle to pull it.

Comment: 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.
