Comments: Afternoon start during a rainy day made for some fun flow. All anchors good. The hike up from the bottom is steep up loose terrain for the firet bit, so be careful.

Comment: Much different canyon when not frozen! Great flow right now…R2 has a rooster tail at the top in current flows. Exciting Raps all the way down. All anchors were is good working order…there is a fallen tree across R3 just before the water goes over the edge which is kind of a nuisance. If your in need of a spare tire there are about 50 at the bottom of the last rap. Pretty terrible. Beautiful canyon though!

Comment: Having such a short approach and exit makes this a wonderful winter canyon. We couldn't find anchors at R1 or R4/P2 (lots of snow/ice) so we rigged retrievable. The ice and snow made the approach, exit, and climb up to R4 more difficult but made for a fun and character building experience. Would highly recommend!

Comment: Fun creek! Rocks and trees covered with thick layer of ice made approaches to anchors and descents challenging.

Comment: An amazing winter canyon! Roadside, low elevation, easy approach/exit and with two big, fun waterfalls with great flow and rebelays giving fantastic lines through the flow. We were joking that this is 3 stars in summer and 5 stars in winter, and it's really true. Approach took us 25 minutes with minor routefinding and exit took us 15 minutes. A very enjoyable day!
