WaterflowIntroduction
A remote slot of Navajo Canyon.
This canyon, like others nearby, require a motorboat to reasonably access them, as they are located quite deep within Lake Powell.
All canyons in this area require the use of advanced retrievable anchor techniques; sandtraps, being the most useful.
These slots are not bolted and traditional anchors are not to be found, nor should they be installed, please respect this tradition for the area.
This canyon contains multiple deep keeper potholes.
SandTrap required, potshots required, toggle useful, water anchor seasonally useful.
Wetsuit recommended during cold weather.
