"Great little canyon next to flagstaff. The first rappel is a big rappel for beginners so make sure to belay them when needed. Otherwise, great rappels |

WaterflowIntroduction[edit]
Easy access and 2 rappels make this quick and low commitment canyon worthwhile.
Please tread lightly and be mindful of the moss and other vegetation.
Approach[edit]
Park off the 89A and walk a short distance from the road to the start of the canyon drainage.
Descent[edit]
R1: 80' off bolts left side of edge.
R2: 25' off bolts RDC near edge. Can be avoided LDC to gain social trail to Pumphouse Wash and exit trail.
Exit[edit]
We found a social trail back up to the rim and our vehicles, located just up Pumphouse Wash a couple hundred feet on the left.
