Comment: A very enjoyable day out in this beautiful canyon with a great group of 4. This was the 2nd known descent of this canyon. Many may be put off by the distance and difficulty of the approach, but this canyon is well worth it IMO. Just as beautiful as the year prior. Water level was moderate low. Took bikes for the approach exit and highly recommend them.
