Comments: As advertised. I could see one pool becoming challenging to escape if the water drops low enough and the walls remain slippery. We descended and pack rafted to RM30 on the 1st day and were back to the car in around 4 hours on the second day racing the rain.

    Comment: A lot about this route is big. Big drive. Big hikes and elevation shifts in and out. Massive views! Relatively big cost, for a canyon (for two of us: $40 for the recreation.gov camping permit, and $30 for tribal lands access). Current kml track is more a guess than actual trail. The latter can be tricky to stay on, but boulder hopping along the floor works too. Technically section is pretty but short, with 4-5 bolted raps, all with easy pull lines. Frosty pools, some overgrown with a strange rod-shaped surface algae I’ve never seen anywhere else. We floated to and camped at Fence Fault so gear could dry out overnight. Outhike is a grind, but the vastness and geology (we ran across fossils and flint) keep it interesting.

    Comment: We did the loop starting from the river. All pools were full, with ice encrusted on the topmost pool, but with drysuits we stayed comfy.
