Comments: Opening this canyon was fun, a very easy run with some quick fire fun rappels. Should be combined with Galena next door for a full day of cold water splash zone action. The last 3 drops had to be done on one rap due to the lack of natural anchors present at the final 70ft waterfall known as washout falls. This canyon would be much more attractive to do if bolts were installed for the last rap and then this could be run with a 70m rope. Def best to run this in winter or spring when flow is mod high or high, it can be run quite safely.

Comment: This is a fun canyon with a great option to control slide down the 2nd slide before getting to the final rap. Check flow levels at Parking area....in late season these waterfalls can be very low and def would not be as fun. From R3 to the end the waterfalls come at you quick and all are done in flow...great for a sunny spring day!
