Comments: A scenic canyon with a noteworthy first rappel. Webbing in good shape. Pulls went smooth. Pools were all avoidable though there was a light trickle over the first rap. A hummingbird paid us a visit for a while, and plenty of other flying creatures (including wasps) were out and about. Exit felt straightforward and was not difficult in terms of the climbing/scrambling. Moved at a leisurely pace.

Comment: Beautiful canyon, super quick and easy approach and just a couple rappels but they’re both really fun. We replaced the webbing on the second rap. There were some pools but they could all easily be avoided. A couple people in our group opted to walk through one of them, it was about waist deep. Saw lots of frogs and a baby rattlesnake. The exit is steep and a little exposed but not crazy moves required.

Comment: Such a pretty canyon. Lots of pools with recent rains, all avoidable but we got soaked on the first rap. Solid anchors. This one would be good for newbies and beginners.

Comment: A much nicer exit than Hog. I actually thought this canyon was prettier also.

Comment: Time is car to car for First Water, Hog, and Phog. Two hours per canyon. Some shallow, avoidable pools in Phog. About a dozen wasps were congregating around what little water was left at the base of R2. Brushy in the last section of the exit - pants recommended.

Comment: Water was trickling on us for the big rap. the flow was fresh and pretty. Webbing was super fresh. Didn't find the pull on the 2nd rap at all tricky. Just give yourself plenty of extra pull so you can walk out a bit before pulling.

Comment: Nice warm day, would have been fun to do some slides with a wetsuit. First rap goes through the water course, so we got a little bit wet. Nice short canyon! Super easy approach, and not a bad exit either.

Comment: Very pretty red canyon, short but fun. The 2 raps of 150 & 70 are mostly vertical with overhang sections, the pools are avoidable by various climbing options. The exit is to the left just before the canyon opens up to the large views. The exit has many vertical sections of climbing with exposure. Good route finding, climbing & skills are needed for the exit
