Comments: Excellent canyon for waterfall rappelling. Very scenic. Fun swim exit. If you like rappelling in waterfalls this is the canyon for you. Much easier than the photos show, since the falls spread out to canyon left, so when looking at them from the side view from the bridge they appear burly but are friendly. Even at high flow, easy to momentarily duck under the falls and rappel behind the veil with little pushiness.

Comment: Had some trouble deciding where to drop into the canyon. We replaced some webbing at a few anchors. Did the high water traverse and the second bolt is broken, otherwise all the bolts were present and in OK condition. Would recommend getting an early start as to avoid drawing a crowd on the bridge. Fantastic canyon though!

Comment: This is the most technical canyon in Washington and known for its insanely high water levels. We replaced webbing at a few anchors. Bolts were banged but still good, nuts were unscrewed almost all the way, but still there. Bolts on the high water traverse were broken, so had to rappel everything in the watercourse (low water route) and it was fine.
