Comment: Most amazing spot on our rafting trip. Late afternoon light at bottom of whispering falls is just unreal. Pool is deep and rocks have been pushed out from past years. Plan to spend some extra time here taking it all in

Comment: It took our group 3.5 hours to complete the sneak route and lower canyon from a base camp very close to the Whispering Falls sneak route. We built an anchor from under a large boulder in the watercourse for the big drop as the only anchor present was the old bolts on the right which takes you completely out of the amazing waterfall rappel - to my mind defeating the entire point of dropping this short section of canyon. The rappel was right around 235 feet from this anchor - the pool at the bottom was waist deep at most. After the canyon descent we made our way up Kanab Creek and Scotties Hollow to get above the chockstone climbs in the redwall for a total of a 10 hour day.
