Comments: Very cool canyon and a really great route overall!
We really enjoyed all aspects of this trip.
The approach trail is pleasant and easy to follow with multiple view points darting in and out of lush forest sections.
Technical section has beautiful clean sandstone with far reaching views from fantastic vantage points! Definitely makes you feel very small! There were some pools that were avoidable by climbing around. Big rap lands in poison ivy however we somehow came out unscathed.
Exit is very neat with lots to see throughout! Multiple sculpted subway sections similar to West Fork. The turn off to exit out of wash and up gully is very overgrown but manageable, however my partner was hating life in his shorts!!

Comment: Excellent route off Secret. In the Secret Mountaon circuit this is one of the best. Truly unique with handfuls of downclimbs and dozens of avoidable pools. You can stay dry with ease but an extra pair of socks is a good idea.
Existing anchors saw quite a bit of damage as they were set in the water course. The two most damaged were moved up high and right to avoid exposure to the elements. The exit up Secret is a fun and scenic obstacle in itself. The exit gully was direct and in good condtion. Highly reccomend. Approach: 1 hour Canyon: 2 hours Exit: 3 hours max rappel 200'

Comment: Great Canyon in a very remote location. We Set up to pass a knot on the 275 but were able place a anchor on canyon right and it would go with a 200 rope. Two pools Midway are bypassable on DCL with a modertly spicy travers and down climb back into the water course. We would definitely go again. Great trip with Eric M. And Wayne H.
