Introduction[edit]
This is a dramatic canyon situated deep within the Mazatzal Wilderness.
Due largely to the lack of accessibility, a full descent of the North Fork is a highly demanding endeavor and should not be underestimated. Multiple experienced parties have attempted this canyon and been shut down.
The recommended itinerary is three days: one for approach, one for descent and exit of the canyon, and one to complete the several mile trek back down the mountain to Barnhardt TH.
Approach[edit]
About 9 miles from Barnhardt TH to the first rappel.
Descent[edit]
Multiple large rappels.
There are no bolts in the canyon. Be prepared to have to build/rebuild natural anchors.
Expect several swims and wades.
Exit[edit]
Note: the exit route defined in the attached KML file is a rough estimate. It is not precise and should not be relied on.
