Comments: We have navigation issues finding the road to the 4x4 parking, wound up hiking from the 4x2 parking along one road, then cross country to 4x4 road. We also checked out 35 foot jump (pool 10 to 15 feet deep) RDC from the 12 foot waterfall jump after the first slide. I did not get the instructions to stay out of the pothole (boil) on the 2nd rappel, but it's easy enough to escape the pothole at moderate flow. After the exit swim, hike well downstream RDC, climb up the talus to the shelf high above to get back.

Comment: Started from "4wd" parking. 4wd not necessarily, high clearance all that is needed. Did not take petroglyphs route, but one in team went most of way up on exit and looks not too bad. Nats are bad on hike, highly recommend bug spray and long sleeves. Bolt on last rappel is very rusted and hanger moves, check it before going. Replaced webbing on first mandatory rappel. Replaced quicklink on bolt for safety line to last rappel. Lots of jump options. Super fun.
