Comments: Approach reminds me of Deimos in Death Valley. Fortunately the weather was good and it wasn't too hot. Our group was massive but it worked out being there was only four rappels. The slides are great and two of the four rappels got my adrenaline pumping. The water levels are definitely high right now and I wouldn't recommend doing this canyon at this moment if you don't like high flow. In particular the third rap was the most intimidating as you are forced to rappel into it. If you like big water I highly recommend this canyon. It's not the most epic canyon compared to superior canyons like Jump but it's definitely worth the trip if you find yourself in the area.

Comment: 3.5 star canyon, 1 star approach. Strong flow on raps, and 2 slides! Almost too warm to tolerate the approach, and almost too much flow to enjoy all the raps. We suited up too early and regretted it.
