Trip report URL:

Comments: Fun day in Hose with the nice, clear water flow after recent rain. No problem crossing either Tortilla or Mesquite Creeks, Mesquite was flowing across the road, but not too deeply. Repaired/replaced 2 anchors, we only did two rappels. Like most Superstition Mountain canyons, Hose Canyon is a little bit more "pay" than "play", but the short technical section is quite nice when flowing.

Comment: Pools were full and canyon was lightly trickling with warm clean water from the thunderstorms last weekend.

Comment: Light flow. Three swimmers and some shallow wading. No wetsuit, and water was quite cold. Some very pretty narrows, and some of the clearest water I’ve seen in any canyon (due to recent rains). Some scrambling on the exit with great views.

Comment: Had a small flow through most of it. Pool at bottom of the 80' rap was belly deep. Anchors seemed fine. 5.5 hours for this and Prometheus, including walking up the road from Tortilla Flat.
