Introduction

A fantastic half day of potentially watery fun.

Approach

Once you've parked your car and navigated to the base of the canyon, you'll go up the right side of the canyon edge. Be sure to grab some map data, as finding the correct location to drop in can be difficult.

• R2: 40 feet
• R3: 10 feet - Can be downclimbed or jumped depending on water level.
