Trip report URL:

Comments: 5 hours camp to camp a day after running Poe. Some in our group really liked this canyon and some were more meh on it. The canyon was the wettest of the three kingdom canyons with many deep pools. We didn’t wear wetsuits but some were getting cold by rap 5. The canyon is a mix of scenic open pools, overhung garden rappels and narrow awkward stemming. Most of the rappels are off of old bolts, rap 4 is exposed in full sun so bring replacement webbing with you or a water anchor. We encountered several semi keepers that would be keepers in low water so go prepared. Of the three this canyon had the worst Poison Ivy with a jungle of Ivy blocking passage

  • " Yesterday's canyon (Christopher Creek) was as wet as I've gotten in a canyon. Lots of jumps into potholes, downclimbs with just enough handholds, and chilly swims through a slot or two. Gorgeous day, and a fun bunch of people." Kelly Sanderson's timeline
